Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare inflammatory arteritis that is usually affecting young women and causes ischemic changes in the vessel wall. In this report of TA leading to an acute ischemic stroke, we describe a treatment-resistant case, with short interval flares and the challenge of defining the stroke etiology as a large vessel occlusive disease vs. an arteritis flare. We have used CT and MRI modalities to show the active disease and got diagnostic answers from this tool.
高安动脉炎（TA）是一种罕见的炎症性动脉炎，通常影响年轻女性，并导致血管壁缺血性改变。在这份关于TA导致急性缺血性卒中的报告中，我们描述了一个治疗抵抗的病例，其发作间隔短，且在将卒中病因确定为大血管闭塞性疾病与动脉炎发作方面存在挑战。我们使用CT和MRI检查方式来显示活动性疾病，并从该检查手段中获得了诊断结果。
