Takayasu Arteritis (TA), a chronic inflammatory condition of the aorta and its major branches, causes narrowing and ultimate occlusion of major vessels and may manifest as cerebrovascular insufficiency, organ ischemia, and systemic arterial hypertension (HTN). Herein, we report a case of a 35-year female with the pulseless disease but no other clinical signs except headache and neck pain on exertion despite the fact that three out of four vessels of the aortic arch were occluded.
