Takayasu's arteritis in a 64-year-old patient associated with inflammatory bowel disease takayasu's arteritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic disease of unknown etiology and average diagnosis age between 25 and 30 years. 64-year-old patient, diagnosed by clinical presentation, physical examination, coronary angiography and fecal calprotectin. Information was acquired through a descriptive study with medical record review, clinical history and examination analysis. The research ethics committee approved this study with opinion number 5.115.169. In this case, we emphasize occlusive lesions of both axillary arteries, chest pain and long-term dyspnea. The lesions were stenotic and occlusive. Due to the rarity of the disease and low life expectancy, the diagnosis with mild manifestations at 64 years of age is unusual. Furthermore, Takayasu's arteritis and coexisting inflammatory bowel disease are rarely reported in literature.
