Özet

A 16-year-old girl being followed up for Takayasu arteritis for the last 3 years was also found to have Alagille syndrome upon findings of atypical facies, posterior embryotoxon, high-pitched voice, osteopenia and hypogonadism. This case might imply a possible relationship between Takayasu arteritis and Alagille syndrome.
