Introduction: Takayashu vasculitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology affecting large and medium caliber arteries. Its clinical presentation is very polymorphic and is responsible for a delay in diagnosis. The aorta and its main branches are the most affected with aneurysmal involvement in the majority of cases. Nevertheless, aortic dissection is an extremely rare complication, often diagnosed during the occlusive phase. It requires a multidisciplinary management and its prognosis depends on the evolutionary complications. Case report: We report the case of a young man admitted for management of intermittent claudication of the right lower limb in connection with a type B aortic dissection and occlusion of the right primitive iliac artery. Conclusion: Aortic dissection is a rare manifestation of Takayashu's aortopathy, the evolution of which can be life-threatening in case of delayed diagnosis.
