We report a case of Takayasu's disease with severe renovascular hypertension in a girl from Eritrea. In the "burn-out" phase after the erythrocyte sedimentation rate had normalized, reconstructive vascular surgery was performed as further progression of the disease seemed unlikely. However, probably due to her growth, the graft rotated and a second operation was successfully performed.
