Takayasu arteritis (TA) is an uncommon chronic inflammation of blood vessels. It can occur with a range of clinical manifestations. However, low back pain is uncommonly defined as the initial symptom of TA. In this article, we report a 53-year-old woman who presented with low back pain and was diagnosed with TA after a detailed clinical examination and further evaluations. A thorough history and detailed physical examination can help to recognize the underlying cause of low back pain. Takayasu arteritis should be kept in mind as an alternative diagnosis while evaluating low back pain with high inflammation parameters, particularly in women.
高安动脉炎（TA）是一种罕见的血管慢性炎症。它可伴有一系列临床表现。然而，腰背痛很少被定义为TA的初始症状。在本文中，我们报告了一名53岁女性，她以腰背痛就诊，经过详细的临床检查和进一步评估后被诊断为TA。全面的病史和详细的体格检查有助于识别腰背痛的潜在病因。在评估炎症指标高的腰背痛患者时，尤其是女性患者，应考虑高安动脉炎作为一种鉴别诊断。
