“…A rare disorder, the pathogenesis is characterized by granulomatous panarteritis that can affect the entirety of the aorta and major branches, however predominantly affects the common carotid and subclavian artery [62]. While rare, there are reports of AoD from Takayasu arteritis resulting in aortic regurgitation [63,64].…”

Aortic root dilation (AoD) imparts increased risk of aortic complications such as dissection, rupture, and valvular regurgitation. Multiple etiologies of AoD exist, such as Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, Ehler-Danlos syndrome, infections, and idiopathic conditions. Due to the variety of clinical conditions that can result in AoD, and the risks associated with worsening AoD, a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of AoD, noninvasive imaging modalities, and pharmacologic therapies is critical. This chapter will review the various etiologies of AoD, pathophysiological basis of each disease entity, overview of the diagnosis of AoD, noninvasive imaging modalities employed for detection and surveillance, pharmacological therapies used in the prevention and management, and the factors that guide intervention such as surgical repair.

Takayasu disease is a chronic vasculitis of the large vessels. It is rare in sub-Saharan Africa and probably under-diagnosed. Arterial hypertension (AH) is a frequent finding. We report the case of a 46-year-old man with Takayasu disease revealed by hypertension. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria were used for diagnosis, with 4 out of 6 criteria. Echodoppler and angioscanner showed signs of left subclavian stenosis and circumferential, regular arterial thickening. He had a biological inflammatory syndrome. He was treated with prednisone and amlodipine. After 6 months of follow-up, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and put on anti-tuberculosis treatment.
