Takayasu's disease is the first cause of inflammatory aortitis in young subjects. The disease preferentially affects the women. Takayasu's disease could be a mode of non-specific reaction of the aorta to various infectious or dysimmune etiological factors. Aortic insufficiency is present in 7 to 10% of cases. It is usually moderate. Its mechanism is not unambiguous: direct damage to the aortic valves or dilation of the aortic annulus. Coronary damage responsible for angina or even myocardial infarction are also possible. We report the case of a severe aortic insufficiency secondary to takayasu disease complicated by acute coronary syndrome in a 42-year-old woman.
