[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...

Surgical strategies using cerebral revascularization in complex middle cerebral artery aneurysms.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To describe surgical strategies using cerebral revascularization for complex middle cerebral artery aneurysms unsuitable to microsurgical clipping. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, the clinical features, case management, and results ... 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...
