Трудность диагностики и возможности применения различных методов патогенетического антивоспалительного лечения артериита Такаясу обуславливажют целесообразность изучения клинического случая. Проведен анализ клинического случая больной артериитом Такаясу с манифестацией заболевания в виде общего воспалительного синдрома и проявлений тяжелой ишемии головного мозга в связи с двусторонним стенозирующим поражением сонных артерий. Наблюдение пациентки проводится с сентября 2017 года до настоящего времени, в ее терапии использовались различные методы фармакотерапии и хирургической коррекции. Проведен анализ динамики клинической симптоматики артериита Такаясу и клинических результатов ступенчатой терапии с применением высоких доз метилпреднизолона, болюсного введения циклофосфана с последующим длительным применением циклофосфана внутрь. В процессе лечения больной проведена ангиопластика сонных артерий. В связи с нестойким эффектом проводимой терапии больной были назначены внутривенные инфузии блокатора ИЛ-6 тоцилизумаба, что привело к наступлению ремиссии заболевания. Представленный клинический случай демонстрирует важное диагностическое значение применения методов визуализации сосудов в ранней диагностике и контроле за течением заболевания и эффективность применения ингибиторов ИЛ-6 в достижении и поддержании ремиссии артериита Такаясу.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>   Takayasu’s disease (nonspecific aortoarteritis) is a granulomatous inflammation of the aorta and its main branches with a progressive course and development of severe ischemic disorders. The difficulty of diagnosis and the possibility of applying various methods of pathogenetic anti-inflammatory treatment of Takayasu’s arteritis make it expedient to study a clinical case. The analysis of a clinical case of a patient with Takayasu’s arteritis with manifestation of the disease in the form of general inflammatory syndrome and manifestations of severe cerebral ischemia due to bilateral stenotic carotid artery lesion was performed. The patient has been under observation since September 2017 up to the present time, various methods of pharmacotherapy and surgical correction were used in her therapy. The dynamics of clinical symptomatology of Takayasu’s arteritis and clinical results of step therapy with high doses of methylprednisolone, bolus administration of cyclophosphan followed by long-term oral cyclophosphan administration were analyzed. In the course of treatment, the patient underwent carotid angioplasty. Due to the unstable effect of the therapy, the patient was administered intravenous infusions of IL-6 blocker tocilizumab, which led to remission of the disease. The presented clinical case demonstrates the important diagnostic value of vascular imaging methods in early diagnosis and control of the disease course and the effectiveness of IL-6 inhibitors in achieving and maintaining remission of Takayasu’s arteritis.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>артериит Такаясу</kwd><kwd>ангиография</kwd><kwd>циклофосфан</kwd><kwd>тоцилизумаб</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Takayasu’s arteritis</kwd><kwd>angiography</kwd><kwd>cyclophosphamide</kwd><kwd>tocilizumab</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Авторы заявляют об отсутствии финансирования при проведении исследования</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The authors declare no funding for this study</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Насонов Е.Л.
