| مستخلص: | Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology which primarily affects the aorta. The manifestations of this disease include secondary hypertension, reduced pulses, limb claudication, discrepant blood pressure, arterial bruits, and heart failure due to aortic insufficiency or coronary artery disease. The ophthalmological findings are late manifestations. Here, we present a case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with scleritis of the left eye. She sought care with an ophthalmologist and was treated with topical steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with no relief. She then received oral prednisone with symptom amelioration. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2023, Chittipolu et al.) |
