Abstract
-
Takayasu arteritis is an arteritis of undetermined etiology which affects the aorta, the proximal portion of its major branches, and the pulmonary arteries. Involvement of the one or both renal arteries resulting in stenosis or occlusion lead to ischemia and renovascular hypertension. Herein we reported a case of Takayasu arteritis with renovascular hypertension in 10 years old male and hypertension was corrected by surgery.
