This clinical entity, which has been variously referred to under such names as "aortic-arch syndrome,"3 , 4 "pulseless disease,"5 "Martorell's syndrome"6 and "Takayasu's disease,"7 probably has several etiologies — the inflammatory arteritis of syphilis,3 , 8 atherosclerosis9 10 11 12 and the poorly understood nonspecific inflammatory lesion,3 4 5 , 10 , 13 14 15 the ophthalmologic complications of which were described by Takayasu7 in 1908.
