V kazuistice prezentujeme raritní případ vaskulitidy velkých cév obou končetin. Vaskulitidy velkých cév představují závažnou skupinu onemocnění, kdy v případě pozdní diagnostiky hrozí pacientovi závažné zdravotní následky. Typickým příkladem je Takayasu arteritida nebo obrovskobuněčná arteritida. Námi prezentovaný případ je raritní vzhledem k izolovanému oboustrannému postižení artérií obou dolních končetin. Stanovení diagnózy a následná terapie u této pacientky je příkladem správné interdisciplinární spolupráce se zásadním přínosem pro pacienta v jeho kvalitě života.

The case report presents a rare case of large vessel vasculitis in both lower limbs. Large vessel vasculitis represents a serious group of diseases with a high risk of serious health consequences if diagnosed late. A typical example is Takayasu arteritis or giant cell arteritis. The presented case is rare due to the isolated bilateral involvement of the arteries of both lower limbs. Diagnosis and subsequent therapy in this patient is an example of proper interdisciplinary cooperation with a major benefit for the patient in his quality of life.

Isolated arteritis of the lower limb vessels is an extremely rare condition. The use of modern vascular imaging techniques substantially facilitates and accelerates the diagnostics. In the isolated lower limb arteritis, it is always necessary to exclude Takayasu's and giant-cell arteritis. We present the case of a female patient with an isolated lower extremity arteritis without any other symptoms of systemic vascular damage or systemic autoimmune disease. Immunosuppressive therapy is obligatory in this case. Interdisciplinary co-operation is required for rapid diagnosis and successful therapy. Our patient has consented to the publication of this report.
