[Asymptomatic Takayasu's arteritis: an incidental diagnosis]

Abstract

We present the case of a 56 years-old female patient that was admitted to our Unit after an incidental observation of bilateral absence of the radial pulses, with impossibility of brachial arterial pressure measurement. The patient reported being completely asymptomatic in occasion of the episode, thus like previously and later on to it. We diagnosed the patient being affected of Takayasu arteritis and adeguate therapy had been undertaken.
