AB  - Abstract An 18-year-old woman with a history of multiple oral ulcers followed by 
      erythema nodosum was admitted to our hospital because of the lack of a pulse in 
      her upper left extremity and occasional dizziness. High C-reactive protein (CRP) 
      levels were detected in her serum. Arterial angiography showed a widespread 
      narrowing of the major arteries, including both carotid arteries, the left 
      vertebral artery, the left subclavian artery (branches of the aortic arch), the 
      abdominal aorta, and left renal arteries. However, no involvement in the circle 
      of Willis was noted, and this was confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography. 
      Pulmonary scintigraphy showed no perfusion defect. The distribution of the 
      arterial involvement, her youth, and nega-tive human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B51 
      were consistent with Takayasu arteritis, although the presence of mucocutaneous 
      involvement favored a diagnosis of vasculo-Behcet's syndrome. We treated the 
      patient with prednisolone and warfarin, which resulted in an improvement in CRP 
      levels and no thrombosis-related complications.
