The Therapeutic Impact of Temporal Artery Biopsy.
Lancet, The, 1983To evaluate the clinical usefulness of temporal artery biopsy in the diagnosis of giant-cell arteritis we followed up all 134 residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, who had temporal artery biopsies between 1965 and 1980. Initial biopsies were positive for giant-cell arteritis in 46 cases and negative in 88.

Is Temporal Artery Biopsy a Worthwhile Procedure?
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2005Background: Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) has been accepted as the gold standard for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) or temporal arteritis (TA) even though it is of low sensitivity and specificity. Current medical practice recommends commencing high dose steroids before performing a biopsy, and the continued use of long‐term steroids even if

Giant cell arteritis (also known as temporal arteritis) is a condition that causes a granulomatous inflammation of medium to large-sized arteries. Patients most commonly present to the ophthalmologist due to acute or subacute vision loss often with headache. The vision loss occurs due to an ischemic optic neuropathy.

The effect of temporal artery biopsy on the treatment of temporal arteritis
The American Journal of Surgery, 2015Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) is frequently used to guide treatment for suspected temporal arteritis. Our purpose was to determine the influence on subsequent temporal arteritis treatment, particularly the initiation, termination, or continuation of corticosteroids after a histologically negative TAB.This is a retrospective analysis from a single ...

The American surgeon, 1990
Though surgeons have little input in the selection of patients for temporal-artery biopsy, a knowledge of temporal-artery anatomy and the pathophysiology of temporal arteritis is important. All temporal-artery biopsies done at Carraway Methodist Medical Center between January 1980 and January 1985 were reviewed. Seventy-three biopsies were performed on
