Case report and literature review demonstrates favorable delivery outcomes in Takayasu arteritis with pre-eclampsia, highlighting the importance of tailored peripartum anesthetic care.
Takayasu arteritis is a chronic idiopathic vasculitis affecting the aorta and its primary branches. It affects women of reproductive age and leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. We report the case of a 34-year-old gravida, with Takayasu's disease who presented at 37 weeks of amenorrhea pre-eclampsia which was taken care of at the anesthesia and intensive care unit of the maternity of Ibn Sina Hospital Center in Rabat Morocco with a favorable outcome of her delivery. During pregnancy, one should pay special attention to these patients. The objective of this report was to present the peripartum anesthetic care of a patient with Takayasu arteritis and a review of the literature.
