Abstract

Childhood-onset Takayasu disease(c-Tak) is a rare chronic granulomatous disorder involving large vessels. It is the 3rd most common vasculitis in childhood. It is diagnosed based on criteria laid by European League Against Rheumatism/ Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization/Pediatric Rheumatology European Society criteria. Treatment is mainly based on corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy. We are reporting case series of c-Tak due to their varied presentations.
