Many atypical manifestations that can be inaugural in giant cell arteritis are well known. Three cases with facial edema as the first manifestation are described. Similar cases reported to date are reviewed.
A 15-year-old male patient with corneal hydrops and a giant intrastromal cleft (pseudocyst) successfully received medical treatment with topical prednisolone, hypertonic saline solution and ocular hypotensive eyedrops. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used as an auxiliary tool
An unusual presentation of a giant intracranial aneurysm is demonstrated. The patient was a 58-year-old woman who developed sudden onset of headache followed by generalized seizures. CT scan showed a high-density lesion in the middle cranial fossa with extensive vasogenic edema. Possible mechanisms
A 65-year-old man developed a progressively enlarging abdominal mass that ultimately resulted in a weight gain of 25 kg., leg edema and an inability to walk. His condition was initially considered to be inoperable but exploration resulted in the removal of a 19.5 kg., 50 cm. intraabdominal
A 39-year-old man with a 3-week history of an enlarging mass protruding from his right cornea is presented. Clinical and pathologic findings were compatible with a large corneal pseudocyst. Causes of corneal cyst and pseudocyst formation, as well as a proposed mechanism for the giant pseudocyst
Two cases of giant left middle cerebral artery aneurysm presenting with rapidly progressing hemiparesis and aphasia are presented. In both, the computed tomographic scan showed recent intraaneurysmal thrombosis and massive edema and swelling of the cerebral hemisphere. There was no evidence of
Giant papillary conjunctivitis can be due to an allergic reaction as in soft contact lens wearers and allergic palpebral conjunctivitis, or can result from a cut exposed suture end that abrades the upper palpebral conjunctiva. The syndrome of suture barb giant papillary conjunctivitis consists of a
The paper describes a case of giant (123 x 109 x 70-mm) placental chorioangioma that is a capillary hemangioma in structure, which led to significantly impaired placental-fetal blood flow to give rise to non-immune hydrops and right heart failure in the fetus at 33 weeks' gestation; obvious
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical profile of patients with giant cell arteritis in Mumbai.
METHODS
From our database, patients with a diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) over a fifteen year period (January 1990 to December 2005) were included. Clinical manifestations, temporal artery biopsy,
Giant choriangiomas are rare placental tumours, associated with a high prevalence of pregnancy complications and a poor perinatal outcome. Neonatal consequences include severe microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopaenia and hydrops. The associated high perinatal death rate (30-40%) has
Atrial myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Its clinical presentation spreads from asymptomatic incidental mass to serious life-threatening cardiovascular complications. We report the case of a 44-year-old man with evening fever and worsening dyspnea in the last weeks, admitted to our
Cystic mesenchymal hamartoma is an extremely rare, benign tumor. Rapid growth to a giant size can pose a threat not only in early childhood but also during fetal life. The experience with 2 antenatally diagnosed giant hepatic cysts with widely disparate approaches to management, treatment, and
