[Doppler ultrasound sonography of the supratrochlear artery in temporal arteritis (author's transl)]. 1982

T Grobe, and W Schönherr

The risk of ocular involvement in temporal arteritis is difficult to assess in the individual case. Using Doppler ultrasound sonography a clearly reduced flow or arrest of flow in the supratrochlear artery of the amaurotic side could be demonstrated in three patients. Attempts to compress branches of the external carotid artery caused no change of flow behaviour. Doppler sonography thus permits assessment of involvement of orbital vessels. This indicates the risk of loss of vision.

D013700	Giant Cell Arteritis	A systemic autoimmune disorder that typically affects medium and large ARTERIES, usually leading to occlusive granulomatous vasculitis with transmural infiltrate containing multinucleated GIANT CELLS. The TEMPORAL ARTERY is commonly involved. This disorder appears primarily in people over the age of 50. Symptoms include FEVER; FATIGUE; HEADACHE; visual impairment; pain in the jaw and tongue; and aggravation of pain by cold temperatures.
