description The aorta and its main branches are affected by the uncommon systemic vasculitis known as Takayasu's arteritis (TA). The gradual onset of the disease and early, very generalised symptoms may factor in the large delay in diagnosis and treatment. This is an interesting case report of a patient with the rare condition of TA, who was unaware of her disease. Her ailment was diagnosed during antenatal examination, and this report speaks of her further imminent management without any adverse effects on maternal or foetal outcomes. To enhance maternal and foetal prognosis, gynaecologists, cardiologists, radiologists, and neurologists must work together collaboratively. Here is a case study of a woman who had TA and bravely defied the condition's whims to give birth without issue.
