Bilateral Takayasu's retinopathy as the initial presentation of Takayasu's arteritis.
BMJ Case Reports 2024 April 30
We present a case of Takayasu's arteritis in a woman in her 30s, who exhibited visual symptoms and ophthalmic manifestations of the disease, specifically Takayasu's retinopathy stage 4, in both eyes. Despite severe narrowing of all branches of the aortic arch and compromised perfusion in both upper limbs, she had no history of intermittent claudication. Doppler study and CT angiography revealed diffuse circumferential wall thickening of bilateral common carotid, subclavian and axillary arteries. Treatment involved retinal laser photocoagulation and immune suppression. This case underscores that advanced Takayasu's retinopathy can be an initial presentation of Takayasu's arteritis even in a state of severely compromised peripheral limb circulation.
