Sažetak
Takayasu arteritis is a rare form of vasculitis characterized in early phases of the disease by unclear symptoms which may not be recognized for a long period of time. In the majority of Takayasu arteritis cases the diagnosis is first established in the second phase of the disease when the majority of possible complications occur as a consequence of arterial stenosis. Color doppler flow imaging is the diagnostic method of choice for evaluation and follow up of the artery wall thickening progression in all phases of the disease.
