Senkopun nadir bir nedeni: Takayasu arteritine bağlı gelişen subklavian çalma sendromu

İlk kez, 1908’de Dr. Mikito Takayasu tarafından tarif edilen Takayasu arteriti, sıklıkla genç kadınları etkileyen, etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, aortu ve ana dallarını tutan, nadir görülen bir sistemik granülomatöz enflamasyondur. Bu olgu sunumunda, senkop bulguları ile başvuran ve Takayasu arteritine bağlı subklavian çalma sendromu gelişen 76 yaşındaki kadın hasta tartışılmıştır. Subklavian arter proksimalinde %90 darlık saptanmış ve sol subklavian arterin, sağ vertebral-baziler ve sol vertebral arterler yoluyla dolduğu anjiyografik olarak gösterilmiştir.

A rare cause of syncope: subclavian steal syndrome secondary to takayasu arteritis

Takayasu arteritis, first described in 1908 by Dr Mikito Takayasu, is a rare systemic, granulomatous inflammation of the aorta and its major branches with unknown etiology. The disease most commonly affects young women. In this case report, we discuss a 76-year-old female with syncope diagnosed as subclavian steal syndrome secondary to Takayasu arteritis. Ninety percent stenosis of the left proximal subclavian artery and filling of left subclavian artery via right vertebral-basilary and left vertebral arteries were observed angiographically.
