Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare large vessel arteritis, affecting primarily aorta and its major branches. Its clinical manifestations can vary significantly - from asymptomatic to serious vascular events. Acute neurological complications are frequent at the onset of the disease and in relapses. Anxiety and depression are more frequent in TA patients than in general population as well as during relapses. Prevalence of transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke in TA patients is approximately 10-20%.
