Spectrum of CT Angiographic Findings in a Series of 114 Patients of Clinically Suspected Cases of Takayasu Arteritis – A Prospective Study at a Teritiary Care Hospital in India
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Aims & Objectives: 1) To detect various angiographic patterns by CT angiography in clinically suspected 114 cases of Takayasu’s arteritis.2)To characterize & classify the lesions into various subgroups 3) To evaluate diagnostic & clinical usefulness of CT angiographic cross sectional imaging for establishing the diagnosis of Takayasu’s Arteritis 4) To discuss the differential diagnosis. Summary: In our study group, the age of clinical onset of disease varied from 7 yrs to 50 yrs with female preponderance. The commonest site of involvement in our study is Abdominal aorta & the second common site was Renal artery. The younger age group of patients showed more extensive involvement & in multiple vessels Conclusion: CT angiography is one the most reliable ,relatively commonly available method of investigating Takayasu arteritis as it can provide reliable information regarding the mural & luminal abnormalities of aorta & its branches & pulmonary artery
