Takayasu's arteritis is a systemic disease, presenting as chronic inflammation of the main arteries. It usually affects the aorta and its large branches. General symptoms often include fatigue, subfebrile temperatures and weight loss. Complaints due to perfusion disorders are, for example, muscle pain, dizziness or claudication. Takayasu's arteritis is a rare disease which generally occurs in female patients under 40 years of age. We report on a patient with primary involvement of the mesenteric arteries. The disease process was fulminant and refractory to all therapeutic strategies. According to our knowledge this is the first case report from Germany of Takayasu's arteritis with mesenteric infarction.
