Abstract
Takayasu arteritis is rare systemic inflammatory disease that involves large vessels in the process. Clinical presentation of Takayasu arteritis varies and many patients may not have characteristic symptoms for a quite long time. In this case report we described a female patient that presented to the ophthalmologist with complaints characteristic for episcleritis but after profound diagnostics appeared to have Takayasu arteritis.
