This survey deals with the main clinical aspects at the diagnosis and during the follow-up of thirty consecutive patients with giant-cell arteritis (temporal arteritis and rheumatic polymyalgia), controlled over a period of 15 years. The work aimed at verifying the diagnostic accuracy with regard to a more underestimated than rare disease. We believe that such a consideration is a useful introduction to a wider research into the epidemiological and biological aspects of the disease which are still to be determined.
