Color duplex ultrasonography findings of temporal arteries in a case of giant cell arteritis: role in diagnosis and follow-up
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects medium- and large-sized arteries. The diagnostic gold standard is the temporal artery biopsy, but it has limited sensitivity and some difficulties in reproducibility. Color duplex ultrasonography is a noninvasive, reproducible, and inexpensive method for diagnosis of temporal arteries involvement (temporal arteritis [TA]) ...
متن کاملEffects of early corticosteroid treatment on magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography findings in giant cell arteritis.
OBJECTIVE To compare the impact of initial corticosteroid treatment on high-resolution MRI and colour-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) findings in patients with GCA (temporal). METHODS Sensitivity and specificity of CCDS and high-resolution contrast-enhanced MRI studies of 59 patients with suspected GCA were retrospectively analysed. Patients were grouped according to the duration of steroid tr...
متن کاملNoninvasive cerebrovascular assessment of Takayasu arteritis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite prominent neurological symptoms reported in Takayasu arteritis (TA), a complete evaluation of the cerebral circulation has not been consistently performed. The purpose of this study is to describe MR angiography (MRA), color Doppler flow imaging, and transcranial Doppler (TCD) findings in the extracranial and intracranial cerebral arteries in TA. METHODS MRA, co...
متن کاملVertebral artery halo sign in patients with stroke: a key clue for the prompt diagnosis of giant cell arteritis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe typical ultrasonographic findings of vertebral arteries in patients affected by giant cell arteritis. METHODS Color duplex sonography was used to asses the cervical arteries within 24 hours from stroke onset in 1237 patients. Vertebral arteritis was considered if concentric, homogeneous, and smooth hypoechogenic mural thickening...
متن کاملTemporal arteritis: improving patient evaluation with a new protocol.
CONTEXT The process of diagnosing temporal arteritis remains controversial. Although temporal artery biopsy has long been the standard tool of evaluation, its poor sensitivity has prompted investigation of other methods to aid in diagnosis. Improved clinical evaluation and various imaging techniques have been suggested as ways to establish the diagnosis through noninvasive means and to improve ...
