ABSTRACT

Takayasu's arteritis TA is a rare and chronic inflammatory disease of the large vessels, that affects young women of reproductive age. Pregnancy can increase the complications of Takayasu’s arteritis, and is distinguished by the maternel-fetal complications, therefore, a multidisciplinary monitoring is recommended. Currently, no preventive treatment has been validated. The ocular ischemia syndrome secondary to tight stenosis or occlusion of one or both internal carotid arteries is mainly complication represented during pregnancy, which the visual prognosis is put at risk with permanent blindness in young patients previously asymptomatic. The objective of our work is to highlight the importance of strict monitoring of Takayasu’s arteritis during pregnancy, by representing a case report of a parturient at 29 weeks of amenorrhea.
