Takayasu arteritis is an idiopathic chronic large vessel vasculitis. It is a rare chronic disease of the aorta and its branches, and is mostly seen in children and young women. The clinical picture includes non-specific systemic symptoms along with those related to the problematic artery. However, patients can sometimes be asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. The most common symptoms include upper extremity claudication, systemic hypertension, pain around the carotid artery, dizziness, and vision problems. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and the golden rule in identifying arterial lesions in Takayasu arteritis is angiography. Herein we report a 54-year-old male patient with amaurozis fugax, who was later diagnosed as Takayasu arteritis
