Abstract

Nabızsızlık hastalığı olarak bilinen Takayasu
Arteriti (TA) hafif semptomlarla kendini ortaya koyabileceği gibi hastalığın
ilerlemesine bağlı olarak ağır komplikasyonlara da neden olabilir. TA öncelikli
olarak karotis, subklavyen, vertebral, renal ve aorta gibi büyük arterleri
tutar. Aynı zamanda koroner ve pulmoner arterleri de tutabilen kronik bir
vaskülittir. Başlangıçta ateş, halsizlik, gece terlemesi, kilo kaybı, miyalji,
baş dönmesi ve senkop gibi nonspesifik bulgularla seyrettiği için tanıda
gecikmeler olabilir. Bu yüzden özellikle genç kadınlarda vaskülit farkındalığı
önem arz etmektedir. Biz bu olguda durdurulamayan epileptik nöbet ile hastaneye
başvuran ve mekanik ventilasyon desteği için yoğun bakım ünitesinde takip
edilen hastamızda tespit ettiğimiz TA’yı sunmayı amaçladık.

A Case of Takayasu Arteritis Diagnosed in a Patient Presenting with Status Epilepticus

Abstract

Takayasu
Arteritis (TA), also known as pulsless disease, can manifest itself with mild
symptoms or cause severe complications depending on the progression of the
disease. TA primarily involves large arteries such as carotid, subclavian, vertebral,
renal and aorta. It is a chronic vasculitis that can also involve the coronary
and pulmonary arteries. There may be delays in diagnosis since it initially
presents with nonspecific findings such as fever, weakness, night sweats,
weight loss, myalgia, dizziness and syncope. Therefore, awareness of vasculitis
is important especially in young women. In this case, we aimed to present our
patient who was admitted to the hospital with a persistent epileptic seizure
and followed up in the intensive care unit for mechanical ventilation support.
Then he has been diagnosed with TA during his clinical management.
