Background: Takayasu's arteritis (TA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are chronic inflammatory granulomatous disorders that have rarely been concomitantly reported in case reports and small case series.
Objective: We report a series of seven cases of TA and IBD association in two referral centers with a comprehensive review of literature.
Methods: We analyzed retrospectively the electronic medical charts of TA-IBD patients at the University Hospital of São Paulo, Brazil, and at the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Aviv University, Israel.
