Temporal arteriography and immunofluorescence as diagnostic tools in temporal arteritis. 1977

H M Horwitz, and P F Pepe, and I S Johnsrude, and R C McCoy, and D C Jackson, and J C Farmer

Nineteen patients with polymyalgia rheumatica and/or temporal arteritis were classified by degree of clinical and arteriographic abnormality, biopsy grade of arteriosclerosis, and giant cell arteritis (GCA). Temporal arteriograms were very sensitive in detecting abnormal arteries. However, the assumption of some previous studies, that certain angiographic abnormalities are synonymous with GCA, was not supported, since biopsies from distal sites in a Class I and a Class II arteriogram revealed only arteriosclerosis. Class III arteriograms correlated with proximal biopsies of GCA. Immunofluorescent staining was negative in all cases.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011111 Polymyalgia Rheumatica A syndrome in the elderly characterized by proximal joint and muscle pain, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and a self-limiting course. Pain is usually accompanied by evidence of an inflammatory reaction. Women are affected twice as commonly as men and Caucasians more frequently than other groups. The condition is frequently associated with GIANT CELL ARTERITIS and some theories pose the possibility that the two diseases arise from a single etiology or even that they are the same entity.

D002537 Intracranial Arteriosclerosis Vascular diseases characterized by thickening and hardening of the walls of ARTERIES inside the SKULL. There are three subtypes: (1) atherosclerosis with fatty deposits in the ARTERIAL INTIMA; (2) Monckeberg's sclerosis with calcium deposits in the media and (3) arteriolosclerosis involving the small caliber arteries. Clinical signs include HEADACHE; CONFUSION; transient blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX); speech impairment; and HEMIPARESIS.
