Abstract Introduction Diagnosis of Takayasu s arteritis as the cause of stroke is often delayed because of non-specific clinical presentation. F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography may help to accurately diagnose and monitor Takayasu s arteritis in stroke patients. Case presentation We report the case of a left middle cerebral artery stroke in a 39-year-old man. Laboratory data were consistent with an inflammatory reaction. While abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed an aneurysm of the infrarenal aorta only F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed pathology that is intense F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in the carotid arteries ascending aorta and the abdominal aorta cranial to the aneurysm.
