title: Takayasu's arteritis--stroke as an initial presentation.
abstract: Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown cause. Stroke as a initial presentations without any systemic symptoms are rare. We had two cases of Takayasu's arteritis whose initial presentation were stroke without any significant systemic symptoms. So early detection and initiation of treatment lessens the chance of progression of disease and involvement of other organ system.
