Takayasu arteritis miss-diagnosed as thoracic outlet syndrome: A case report
Background: Takayasu Arteritis (TA) is an idiopathic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology that mainly
involves the aorta and its major branches. In this study, we reported the case of a female patient with unilateral
hand weakness that was initially misdiagnosed as TOS. However, at her most recent admission, the absence of
radial pulse was noted which eventually led to the diagnosis of TA. Rarity of the disease, non-specific presentation
and the absence of specific biochemical marker for TA made its early diagnosis difficult. We have tried to highlight
the importance of conducting a thorough the physical examination when visiting patients with weakness, as well
as the importance of considering rare differential diagnoses including TA in patients with unilateral limb paresis.
TA might not manifest its typical constitutional symptoms preceding vessel involvement. Therefore, a thorough
clinical examination is pivotal in differentiating TA and TOS.
