The daunting “Oriental Beauty Disease”

“Oriental beauty disease” is actually an alias for a disease that is actually multiple aortitis. Because the first to discover this disease is a Japanese doctor, called Takayasu, later many people also called it “Takayasu’s disease”. Because polyarteritis occurs in young women in the Eastern part of the world, namely China, Japan and India, many international experts call it “Oriental Beauty Disease”. The meaning of “multiple” is that the disease occurs in several easy-to-occur sites, firstly, it can occur in the neck vessels, secondly, it can also occur in the thoracic and abdominal aorta, and thirdly, it occurs in the renal artery, and the whole aortic axis and the main branches are all the good sites, so it is called multiple aortitis. In this case, the main lesion was in the neck vessels. The early manifestations of polyarteritis are usually discomfort and running pains everywhere because of inflammation everywhere. There is also fever, fast blood sedimentation on blood check, and some degree of elevated white blood cells. This stage is a non-specific manifestation, but in this stage, which part of the body is involved, for example, the carotid artery is involved, it will have a clear painful pressure pain. The main clinical manifestations of polyarteritis are: 1. blurred vision and decreased visual acuity. 2. Wandering pain in the upper body. 3, Loss of pulse. 4.Dizziness and dizziness. 5.Cold limbs. If you encounter a young female patient with the above symptoms, you must consider the possibility of multiple aortitis and do the appropriate tests. This patient already had some typical manifestations of polyarteritis major at the time of consultation, such as age, gender, blurred vision, and loss of pulse. However, because some treating doctors did not think about the possibility of this disease, the examination was not comprehensive (no blood pressure measurement and pulse measurement), and some doctors presumed that the patient was malnourished without considering the severity of the disease, although they had found that the patient’s blood pressure could not be measured bilaterally. Treatment of polyarteritis: Once polyarteritis is diagnosed, it must be treated early. For early cases that do not yet have complications such as vascular occlusion, the main treatment for general inflammation is medication, and currently the most effective is hormonal control. Including its series of symptoms, pain, fever, fast blood sedimentation, discomfort, etc., after controlling with certain drugs, perhaps the progress will slow down or even terminate. But a significant percentage of patients, is always still forward progress. When arterial occlusion produces a series of symptoms corresponding to important organs, the treatment at this time should emphasize the need to take surgical treatment to open the blood vessels before unavoidable complications or serious impairment of organ function occur. Endovascular stenting, which has been developed in recent years, is also a treatment method worth considering for some patients. The girl in this article underwent endovascular intervention in the interventional department of Henan Provincial People’s Hospital.
