Takayasu arteritis is a rare form of large vessel vasculitis predominantly occurs in young females. Ultrasonography is usually the primary modality of investigation in a patient with signs and symptoms of Takayasu arteritis and features includes wall thickening, luminal narrowing or stenosis, occlusion, luminal dilatation and aneurysms and high resistance flow patterns.
