Abstract
The present study describes a case of a 24-year-old who had an asymptomatic acute dissection of the abdominal sub-renal aorta along with an inflammatory syndrome suggestive of Takayasu disease. Aortic dissection is a rare complication of Takayasu's disease that has only been reported a few times in the literature. The type of aortic dissection (type III b, according to the classification of De Bakey and Stanford) confirmed by computed tomography scan of the aorta (CT scan) in our patient. The patient underwent conservative medical treatment.
