Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Occipital neuralgia is a commonly encountered presenting feature in patients with giant cell arteritis. However, actual histopathologic confirmation of vasculitis of the occipital arteries is rarely cited. We present the first case of multi-vessel giant cell arteritis diagnosed with simultaneous biopsies of the right occipital and bilateral temporal arteries, along with a discussion concerning a possible role for occipital artery biopsies in the evaluation of giant cell arteritis. |
