Abstract
A 13-y-old girl presented with complaints of cough, cold, and fever for 3 days; she was considered as a case of viral rhinitis. As her pulses were feeble on examination, she was admitted and was found to have weak pulses all over. Prior to this she was asymptomatic. Her aortogram revealed multiple stenoses of major arteries of thorax and upper limbs. She was diagnosed to have Takayasu arteritis.
Keywords: Takayasu, arteritis, pulseless disease, weak pulses, aortic stenosis, adolescent girl, Large vessel arteritis.
