Pregnancy complicated by Takayasu arteritis and recurrent pregnancy loss.

A young woman (G4P2L0A1) diagnosed with a case of Takayasu arteritis (Type IV) and a history of recurrent pregnancy loss presented at 7 weeks of gestation with chronic hypertension. She was on immunosuppressive and antihypertensive therapy preconceptionally. At 29 weeks, she developed a hypertensive emergency with stage 2 fetal growth restriction. Despite aggressive management, blood pressure (BP) remained elevated (up to 200/110 mm Hg). A preterm caesarean section was performed at 31 weeks under steroid cover, resulting in the delivery of a 1.45 kg male neonate. Both mother and baby had uneventful recoveries, and the patient achieved the target BP by discharge.
