### What you need to know Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory disease that affects medium and large blood vessels, classically the extracranial branches of the external carotid arteries. Inflammation in the wall of the affected artery may cause headache, scalp tenderness, jaw and tongue pain, and visual disturbances, but can also present ...

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has not been well studied as a first‐line test for giant cell arteritis (GCA), due, in part, to historical limitations in visualizing the cranial arteries.

Giant cell arteritis is an important cause of blindness in patients over 60 years of age. We attempt to identify the important clinical aspects in the diagnosis and management of this disorder, so that treatment may be instituted expeditiously to limit visual loss.In addition, we identify current areas of standards in the investigation and treatment of

Giant cell arteritis is a systemic vasculitis with a wide clinical spectrum, and it represents a medical emergency. Visual loss is the most feared complication, and when it happens, it tends to be profound and permanent. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are imperative to minimize potentially devastating visual loss and neurologic deficits.

Giant cell epulis (peripheral giant cell granuloma) typically appears as a reactive benign lesion in the oral cavity in areas following local irritation or chronic trauma. Here we describe the case of a 45-year-old male patient who presented with the chief complaint of a large gingival mass in the anterolateral maxilla.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an immune-mediated large-vessel vasculitis with a complex etiology in which a cross talk between environmental and genetic factors may affect its susceptibility and phenotypic expression. During the last decades, a large number of candidate gene studies explored the genetic component of GCA.

Patients with a suspected diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) should be started on high-dose corticosteroid therapy without delay. A temporal artery biopsy should be performed after initiation of therapy to confirm the diagnosis. Patients with acute visual or neurologic symptoms present a neuro-ophthalmic emergency.
