Embora o envolvimento da artéria pulmonar não seja raro no curso da AT, os casos de manifestação inicial isolada na AP são raros. Os pacientes com esses sinais e sintomas normalmente poderiam ser erroneamente diagnosticados em decorrência das manifestações atípicas da AT com sintomas pulmonares. Descreve‐se um caso de arterite de Takayasu cuja manifestação inicial isolada foi o envolvimento bilateral de ramos da artéria pulmonar.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract><ce:abstract xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/common/dtd" id="abs0005" xml:lang="en" view="all" class="author"><ce:section-title id="sect0010">Abstract</ce:section-title><ce:abstract-sec id="abst0010" view="all"><ce:simple-para id="spar0010" view="all">Takayasu's arteritis (TA), also known as pulseless disease or occlusive thromboaortopathy, is a condition of vasculitis of unknown etiology that chiefly affects the aorta and its major branches, including the pulmonary artery (PA). Although pulmonary artery involvement is not rare in the course of TA, patients of the initial isolated presentation of PA are seldom seen. The patients with such symptoms and signs usually could be misdiagnosed due to the atypical presentations of TA with pulmonary symptoms. We report a case of initial isolated Takayasu's arteritis that originated from bilateral pulmonary artery branches involvement.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract></dm:abstracts>
