Abstract

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease, involving mainly the aorta and its main branches, which can cause stenosis or occlusion. It involves the bracheocephalic, carotid, subclavian, vertebral, and renal, as well as the coronary and pulmonary arteries. The clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to catastrophic, with dizziness, hypertension, claudication, cerebral infarction, chest pain and dyspnea. Takayasu's arteritis involving the pulmonary arteries, but not the aorta and its main branches, is very rare. Herein, a case of isolated pulmonary Takayasu's arteritis combined with pulmonary thromboembolism, and hyperthyroidism is reported, with a review of the literature.

폐동맥만을 침범한 타카야수 동맥염은 매우 드물고 폐혈전증과 동반되어 갑상선기능항진증으로 증상이 악화된 경우를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
