Takayasu's arteritis in a case diagnosed as Crohn's disease.
Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic granulomatous vasculitis of unknown etiology that primarily affects the great arteries; the aorta and its branches, and pulmonary and coronary arteries are the most commonly affected. Takayasu's arteritis and inflammatory bowel disease in the same individual has been occasionally reported in the literature. We report a case with Takayasu's arteritis and Crohn's disease.
