• Takayasu arteritis （TA） is a chronic inflammatory disease of the large elastic arteries that primarily affects the aorta and its major branches, resulting in luminal stenosis and aneurysmal changes in the large vessels.1 Cerebral aneurysms and accompanying subarachnoid hemorrhage （SAH） are rare; no case from China has been reported. We herein report two cases of TA with cerebral aneurysms that were successfully treated with coil embolization.
