Abstract
We report a case of Takayasu arteritis (TA) in the acute stage. The ca se is unique in two points. First, the diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis was initially suspected from a subtle finding on plain radiography. S econd, thickening of the aortic and pulmonary arterial walls was demon strated by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the a cute non-pulseless stage of the disease.
