Abstract
Takayasu's arteritis is a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder which may present for the first time in pregnancy. Although the cause is unknown, a link with infection has been suggested. Basic clinical examination skills with particular attention to cardiovascular assessment may help to diagnose this condition at an earlier stage and thus improve prognosis.Entities:
