[Takayasu disease revealed by dorsalgia]. / Dorsalgies révélant une maladie de Takayasu.

UNLABELLED: Takayasu arteritis is an uncommon inflammatory arteritis especially in children. We report a case. CASE REPORT: A 11-year-old boy presented dorsalgia with inflammatory syndrome. One year later, the investigation of an hypertension with asymmetric blood pressure revealed an aortic coarctation and a bilateral renal arteries stenosis leading to Takayasu's arteritis diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Takayasu's arteritis must be evokated in young children in case of associated hypertension and inflammatory syndrome.
