SUMMARY Idiopathic arteritis of children is a widespread condition but it is most commonly reported in the'non-white races. It affects the large conducting arteries and, in childhood, the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta are mostly involved. The term Juvenile Main Vessel Arteritis is suggested rather than Takayasu's Arteritis as the cases described bear little relationship to the condition Takayasu originally reported. In non-caucasian children it may be an important cause of hypertension, ranking only second to renal parenchymal disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
