We report a rare case of Takayasu arteritis causing isolated complete obliteration of the aorta. A 24-year-old woman with night sweats, weight loss, and claudication was hospitalized because of refractory hypertension. Laboratory tests showed increased inflammatory indexes. Imaging studies revealed isolated complete occlusion of thoracic and abdominal aorta. Takayasu arteritis was diagnosed. Glucosteroids and revascularization surgery were given. Clinical symptoms were relieved immediately without relapse after operation. Revascularization surgery was the effective therapy for the patient.
