Abstract
The present report describes a young female patient with acute myocardial infarction and inflammatory lesions limited to proximal and midsegments of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Based on the presence of positive inflammatory markers, an angiographically confirmed coronary artery lesion and the young age of the patient, an atypical presentation of Takayasu arteritis was diagnosed.Entities:
