Aim: We report two cases of Takayasu arteritis that presented to our tertiary health care center, at the cardiology OP. Presentation: The first case illustrates the disease's involvement of the renal arteries, which presented acutely during its early stages in a young female. The second case involves long-term neurological issues that might manifest in a confirmed case of TA. Discussion: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare kind of chronic granulomatous inflammatory vasculitis involving large vessels, commonly affects Asian women under the age of 40. The incidence of this disease ranges from 0.3 to 3.3 million per year, and its manifestations can range from being asymptomatic to causing catastrophic neurological impairments. They varied greatly in terms of their clinical features and age at presentation. Conclusion: These cases show the wide variety of presentations of TA in the Indian population and provide insight into management of the same.
