Abstract

Takayasu arteritis is a large vessel vasculitis that gives rise to inflammation-induced stenosis of the major branch arteries of the aorta. A 13-year-old girl presented with loss of appetite, palpitation, shortness of breath, and occasional chest pain. Blood examination, electrocardiography, and echocardiography revealed non-specific findings. Shortly after, she experienced severe chest pain and died suddenly. A pathological autopsy revealed severe stenosis localized only at the origin of the coronary artery, which was subsequently diagnosed as Takayasu arteritis.
