摘　　要：Takayasu arteritis(TA)is an uncommon disease of young women,characterized by granulomatous vasculitis of medium and large arteries.Neurological involvement is reported in only a minority of patients and occurrence of neurological syndromes as the first manifestation of disease has been rarely reported.We present clinical,laboratory and imaging findings of a 40 years old lady with TA,who initially presented with clinical manifestations of stroke in form of aphasia.The rarity of the disease and especially such a presentation can cause considerable delay in the diagnosis and treatment.
