Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a vasculitis of large and medium sized arteries. Involvement of bone in TA is very rare. We report a case of young woman who presented with multiple painful bone lesions which were identified as periostitis with new bone formation associated with TA. Our case is unique in that bony involvement in TA could occur independent of vascular stenosis.
高安动脉炎(TA)是一种累及大中型动脉的血管炎。TA累及骨骼的情况非常罕见。我们报告一例年轻女性病例,该患者出现多处疼痛性骨病变,经诊断为与TA相关的伴有新骨形成的骨膜炎。我们的病例独特之处在于,TA的骨骼受累可能独立于血管狭窄而发生。
