Abstract
- Juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis showing oligoarthritis and enthesopathy of the peripheral and axial skeleton. This have been shown to have different clinical presentation and outcome from adult onset ankylosing spondylitis. Takayasu arteritis is a uncommon, chronic inflammatory disease of elastic arteries such as the aorta, its larger branches and the pulmonary artery trunk. Although, it has rare report about association between ankylosing spondylitis and Takayasu arteritis, there was no report of juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis with Takayasu arteritis. Thereby, we report a patient with Takayasu arteritis who had juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis in the course of his disease.
