Five to 15% of PMR patients will be diagnosed with giant cell arteritis, and 50% of giant cell arteritis patients have PMR symptoms. The medium-sized extracranial arteries are most frequently affected clinically in GCA. However, occasionally, the aorta and its branches to the arms and neck or...
Giant cell arteritis has been considered an enigmatic disease. It is characterised by chronic granulomatous inflammation of the walls of large and medium-sized arteries. The process has a predilection for the extradural cranial arteries, which include the ophthalmic and the posterior ciliary arteries. ...
