[Value of colour Doppler ultrasonography in relation to clinical pretest probability in giant cell (temporal) arteritis]

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Colour Doppler sonography (CDS) is an established technique in the diagnosis of giant-cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA). The predictive value of its diagnostic criteria for GCA (halo sign or stenosis) is related to the pretest probability ... Read more...

Isolated superficial temporal artery dissection masquerading as giant cell arteritis.

30 Aug 2009 A 79-year-old male presented with symptoms suggesting giant cell arteritis (GCA) and elevation of acute-phase reactants. Bilateral superficial temporal artery (STA) biopsies were negative for GCA. However, the right-sided biopsy showed a STA ... Read more...

Scalp necrosis in giant cell arteritis: case report and review of the relevance of this cutaneous sign of large-vessel vasculitis.

Jul 2009 Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis associated with severe complications such as loss of vision and, rarely, scalp necrosis. We present a patient with GCA who had bilateral scalp necrosis and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of only ... Read more...
