| Description |
Giant cell arteritis is a life-threatening inflammatory large vessel vasculitis, commonly associated with jaw claudication, temporal headaches, vision changes, and elevated ESR & CRP. This case highlights an additional common presenting feature of GCA at diagnosis - aortitis - and emphasizes the importance of prompt imaging in patients with suspected GCA (ex. CTA and MRA of the chest with contrast). |
