Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004
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.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2000
Giant cell arteritis is a medium-vessel vasculitis that affects both men and women. Because the disease commonly presents with nonspecific complaints stemming from cranial arterial insufficiency, the challenge for the physician is recognizing the diagnosis.

Archives of Family Medicine, 1994
Giant cell arteritis is a form of vasculitis affecting medium- and large-size arteries, with a predilection for vessels arising from the aortic arch. The origins of giant cell arteritis are unknown. However, ethnic affinities are prominent, with the majority of cases involving white, elderly patients.

Neurologic Clinics, 2010
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.

Lupus, 1998
In many populations giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common form of vasculitis. Genetic markers, ethnic factors, and increasing age over 50 years appear to enhance susceptibility and an infection may trigger its onset. Recent investigations provide evidence that the vasculitic reaction is part of an immune response to an antigen residing in ...

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1990
Giant cell arteritis is a generalized inflammatory disorder involving large and medium-sized arteries. The etiology is unknown, although an autoimmune pathogenesis seems probable. In view of the clinical similarities between patients with positive biopsy findings for polymyalgia rheumatica and those with negative biopsy findings, many authors favor the
