Abstract
Takayasu arteritis commonly affects moderate to large size arteries. Contrast enhanced MR angiography is a sensitive tool to detect Takayasu arteritis. Venous involvement in Takayasu arteritis is an extremely rare phenomenon. A young girl of 19 years age presented with intense headache for one year duration and depressive features for three months. Neuroimaging (MR angiography) reports were suggestive of Takayasu arteritis. Also there were features suggestive of significant involvement of cerebral veins. Venous involvement is a rare phenomenon in Takayasu arteritis. This case report highlights about the rare association of cerebral venous involvement in Takayasu arteritis with literature review. The possible biological mechanisms of depressive symptoms and headache are also discussed.
