Abstract

A 5-year-old patient presented with uveitis as initial manifestation of Takayasu's arteritis. Our patient is unique not only in the initial presentation but also in the extent of arteritis in the aortic arch and great vessels. This is only the second case reported in the literature with this unusual presentation.
