摘要：

A 24-year-old male presented with symptoms of acute onset altered sensorium and seizures. He was diagnosed with hypertensive encephalopathy and retinopathy. He was a candidate of double valve replacement surgery, which he underwent 3 years back. Further workup with renal artery Doppler revealed unilateral renal artery stenosis with extensive collateral circulation. Patient underwent a complete CT aortogram, which revealed large vessel vasculitis. We report this case as it is a rare initial presentation of Takayasu arteritis in a male to involve double valves of the heart.
