Abstract
Takayasu's arteritis is an uncommon condition affecting predominantly young women. Because the disorder affects women in childbearing age, i t may be recognized the first time during pregnancy. Various cardiovas cular events may occur in the perinatal period. We describe a patient with Takayasu's arteritis who presented with massive hemoptysis. To ou r knowledge, this manifestation has not been documented previously.
