【 摘 要 】

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a rare systemic vasculitis affecting large arteries. Case Report: In this case report, we will be discussing an uncommon presentation of Takayasu arteritis with critical limbs ischemia of bilateral lower limbs. Conclusion: Takayasu arteritis should be suspected in a young patient presenting with critical limb ischemia especially in a patient without traditional risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardio-embolism. We also share our experience in managing the acute presentation of Takayasu arteritis in our setting.
