Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 76-year-old woman with giant cell (temporal) arteritis was described; she presented with a one year history of headache and tinnitus. Histopathological findings from a superficial temporal artery showed arteritis with granulomatous changes. Bilateral carotid arteriograms demonstrated the stenoses of both internal carotid arteries as well as the narrowing of the superficial temporal arteries. Although we dermatologists rarely encounter the disease in daily clinical practice, it is of clinical importance to perform cerebral angiography in patients suspected of temporal arteritis.
