摘要
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a nonspecific granulomatous inflammatory arteriopathy of unknown cause that results in occlusive obliteration or less commonly aneurysm degeneration of large and medium-sized elastic arteries. Most descriptions of this disease have emphasized the "pulseless" syndrome, however, less attention has been paid to involvement of other segments of the aorta, renal arteries, and in particular the visceral arteries. We reported a case of type Ⅱ TA, in which both the visceral and the bilateral renal arteries were involved.
