Giant cell, or temporal, arteritis is a vasculitis of the medium and large arteries that preferentially involves vessels originating from the arch of the aorta. Classically, this disease manifests in an older individual with new-onset persistent headache, an abnormal temporal artery on examination,
We report the case of a giant cell arteritis (GCA) in an 81-year-old man who presented with headaches and a decreased general condition associated with an important inflammatory syndrome in laboratory analysis responding to corticotherapy. Color-duplex ultrasonography (CDU) features of temporal
Laughing is recognized as a provoking factor for headache, certainly underestimated among the general population and few cases have been published to date. We report a single case of severe headache, provoked almost exclusively by outbursts of laughing, where venous magnetic resonance imaging
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an immune-mediated chronic vasculitis of large- and medium-sized vessels usually occurring in White individuals aged over 50 years, in Western countries. The pathological hallmark of GCA is granulomatous inflammation of the involved vessels. Headache of new-onset is the
We describe an elderly female patient with known polymyositis who presented with new onset temporal headache that was diagnosed as giant cell arteritis but subsequently had a typical clinical course of cluster headache. This case illustrates the potential for diagnostic confusion between giant cell
An 80-year-old woman was admitted after a 4 months history of severe headache. Laboratory data revealed elevated ESR, mild anemia and alteration of liver function test. Temporal artery biopsy showed the classical picture of giant cell arteritis. The clinical symptoms and laboratory abnormalities
Giant cell arteritis (GCA), the most common form of systemic vasculitis in adults, preferentially involves large and medium-sized arteries in patients over the age of 50. The classic manifestations are headache, jaw claudication, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), and visual symptoms, but 40% of patients
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a medium and large-vessel vasculitis, which is an important cause of secondary headache in older adults. While GCA has a classic presentation occurring after the age of 50, atypical presentations (eg, fever of unknown origin, cough, low or normal erythrocyte
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a granulomatous arteritis and it occurs older (more than 50 years) individuals. As GCA frequently involves temporal artery, this disease had been called as temporal arteritis. However, except for the temporal artery, GCA affects branches of the carotid arteries, as well
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common primary systemic vasculitis in older adults. Patients usually are older than 50 years and have an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Westergren) greater than 50 mm/h. Headache is a common symptom, occurring in approximately 90% of patients. However, the
OBJECTIVE
The brain perivascular spaces (PVSs) are pial-lined, interstitial fluid-filled structures that accompany penetrating arteries. When enlarged, they may cause mass effect and can be mistaken for more ominous pathologic processes. The purpose of this study was to delineate the broad clinical
Arachnoid granulations may expand the dural sinuses or inner table of the skull. Although usually incidental, giant arachnoid granulations that are of sufficient size to fill the lumen of a dural sinus and cause local dilation or filling defects can rarely cause symptoms due to sinus obstruction
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a spontaneous vasculitic syndrome specifically involving the walls of medium and large arteries. While involvement of other arterial beds is occasionally identified, this syndrome is most frequently recognized when symptomatic involvement of the temporal arteries
We describe the imaging characteristics of giant tumefactive perivascular spaces in a 37-year-old man who initially presented at the age of twenty years with vision change and headache and was found to have probable low grade neoplasm. The patient was followed subsequently at 8 years and 17 years
Headache is the most frequent symptom for which a patient with giant cell arteritis (GCA) presents to a neurologist. Amaurosis fugax and ischemic optic neuropathy are well recognized complications. Less commonly recognized neurologic complications include transient ischemic attacks, cerebral
