Giant cell, or temporal, arteritis is a vasculitis of the medium and large arteries that preferentially involves vessels originating from the arch of the aorta. Classically, this disease manifests in an older individual with new-onset persistent headache, an abnormal temporal artery on examination, and increased serum inflammatory markers. The level of

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common vasculitis of the elderly. The diagnosis can be challenging at times because of the limitation of the American Rheumatology Association (ARA) classification criteria and the significant proportion of biopsy-negative patients with GCA.

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2008
This review summarizes the diagnosis, clinical manifestations and management of giant cell arteritis. Giant cell arteritis is an immune-mediated vasculitis of medium to large sized arteries that affects individuals older than the age of 50. Patients typically present with signs of vascular insufficiency of the extracranial arteries of the head and ...

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2007
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 (GCA) is a chronic, idiopathic, granulomatous vasculitis of medium and large arteries comprising overlapping phenotypes of cranial arteritis and extracranial GCA. Vascular complications are generally due to delay in diagnosis and initiation of effective treatment.

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1995
Whereas giant cell arteritis (GCA) was considered a rare disease 50 years ago, the generalized arteritis is now recognized as an important and significant cause of morbidity in elderly people; its cause and pathogenesis is poorly understood. Glucocorticosteroids are the drug of choice in all clinical types of GCA.

Giant-cell or temporal arteritis is a generalized vasculitis that predominantly affects large- and medium-sized arteries in people over 50 years of age. The illness is commonly characterized by the initial symptoms of headache, temporal artery tenderness or pulselessness, musculoskeletal pain, fever, and fatigue.

The Lancet, 2014
In July 2013, a 64-year-old woman presented to her optometrist with a 4-day history of intermittent blurred vision in the left eye with a left-sided headache. The patient was unsure whether she had had jaw claudication or scalp tenderness. She had no previous ocular history except spectacles for hyperopia and presbyopia. She had been taking diclofenac,

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999
Diagnosis and management of giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA) should be performed by physicians who can accurately monitor the ophthalmologic, neurologic, and systemic sequelae of the disease as well as the numerous side effects of systemic corticosteroids, which are typically necessary for treatment.

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.
