%X we describe the case of a 28-year-old woman who presented to our clinic with a history of chronic bilateral visual loss and recent episodes of syncope. she did not have a history of systemic symptoms or manifestations of reduced blood flow in her limbs. during her hospital stay, deficient pulses were discovered in both arms. once hospitalized the physician discloses a pulse deficit in both arms. angiographic studies showed severe bilateral stenosis of the subclavian and carotid arteries and of the right vertebral artery. the diagnosis of takayasu's arteritis was confirmed. a brief review of this disease is presented in this paper (acta med colomb 2011; 36: 93-97).
