When was Takayasus Arteritis discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
In 1963, Hideo Ueda, Professor of Internal Medicine at Tokyo University, through studies of many cases of Takayasu arteritis, confirmed that it is due to aortitis involving the aorta, its main branches, pulmonary, and coronary arteries and called it 'panaortitis syndrome'. ...

described in 1908 by Japanese ophthalmologist Mikito Takayasu at the Annual Meeting of the Japan Ophthalmology Society. Takayasu described a peculiar "wreathlike" appearance of the blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina). Two Japanese physicians at the same meeting (Drs. Onishi and Kagoshima) reported similar eye findings in individuals whose wrist pulses were absent.
It is now known that the blood vessel malformations that occur in the retina are an angiogenic response to the arterial narrowings in the neck and that the absence of pulses noted in some people occurs because of narrowings of the blood vessels to the arms.

The first case of takayasu's arteritis was described in 1908 by dr. Mikito Takayasu at the annual meeting of the ophthalmological society of japan. Takayasu described a case with changes peculiar of the retinal vessels central. He described a kind of "spiral" of the blood vessels behind the eye (the retina). Two doctors in japan (Dr. Onishi and Dr. Kagoshima) found similar abnormalities in eyes of patients whose pulse was absent. It is known that the blood vessel malformations that occur in the retina are a response (angiogenesis) to the arterial narrowing in the neck, and the absence of the pulse noted in some patients occurs because the narrowing occurs in the arms. The findings in the eye described by Takayasu are rarely seen in north America.
