| description | Takayasu arteritis is a disease of unknown etiology which is a
primary systemic vasculitis leading to stenotic and occlusive
changes. Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease
in progressive pattern which chiefly affects the aorta and its
main branches. The diagnosis of the disease is mainly based
on the clinical suspicion, history, physical examination and
vascular imaging. We present here three cases of takayasu
arteritis in pregnancy that were treated at our institute in the
last 5 years. 1st case had complications like severe
preeclampsia, abruption, temporary loss of vision, and intra
uterine death of fetus. In 2nd case there was brain sparing
effect of fetus, but other than that she did not have any other
complications and neonatal outcome was also good without
any neonatal complications. In the 3rd case antenatal and
postnatal periods were uneventful and with good neonatal
outcome. Pregnancy with takayasu arteritis needs to be timely
diagnosed and treated for best maternal and fetal outcome. |
