Summary A case of Takayashu's disease occurring in Sydney is reported. Cœliac axis ischæmia, in the presence of a patent superior mesenteric artery, may have been the cause of a syndrome with the features of pyloric stenosis. The primary cause of death was perforation of the bowel due to ischæmic enterocolitis.
