INTRODUCTION: @entity226 involves large vessels in 15% of cases. Their discovery is usually late, commonly several years after the diagnosis. EXEGESIS: We describe three cases of @entity226 with thoracic aorta involvement: two @entity1 presented with @entity439 which revealed @entity226 , one @entity1 had @entity337 . Clinical features of @entity226 were absent in two @entity1 . Temporal artery biopsy, performed in two cases, was positive. Two @entity1 were treated with @entity288 , associated in one case with immunosuppressive agent. Surgery was necessary in all @entity1 . CONCLUSION: Thoracic aorta involvement in @entity226 is most often discovered when corticotherapy is decreased. @entity1756 or @entity1580 in aortic affection are the major complication. @entity1 with thoracic aorta involvement need a clinical and radiological follow up over long period.
