Autoimmune disorders have a wide spectrum of symptoms, often with multiorgan involvement. Multiple autoimmune disorders also often occur concurrently in the same patient. These two possibilities must be distinguished in patients with multiorgan involvement to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a case of a previously healthy man who presented with simultaneous Takayasu arteritis and Crohn's disease. He presented with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and severe aortic regurgitation. An echocardiogram demonstrated a greatly dilated aorta, and a diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis was made, confirmed with CT aortogram. Inpatient treatment was begun, but the patient subsequently developed bloody diarrhoea a few days after admission. Colonoscopy done to locate the source of bleeding showed colonic ulcers; a biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of Crohn's disease. The patient was successfully managed with medical management of heart failure, steroids, mesalamine and azathioprine, and has been in remission for the last 2 years.
