BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids are associated with increased fracture risk and are the mainstay of treatment in polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA). However, fracture risk in these conditions has not been previously quantified. The aim of this study was to quantify the risk of fracture among patients with PMR and GCA. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted usin...
BACKGROUND Giant cell arteritis (GCA) has the potential to cause irreversible blindness and stroke in affected patients [1-4]. Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) remains the gold standard test for GCA [6-8]. Recent literature suggests that TAB does not change management of patients with suspected GCA and that ultrasound scan (USS) may be sufficient enough alone to confirm the diagnosis [9-11,13]. The...
INTRODUCTION Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are common inflammatory conditions. The diagnosis of PMR/GCA poses many challenges since there are no specific diagnostic tests. Recent literature emphasizes the ability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) to assess global disease activity in inflammatory diseases. 18...
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a primitive systemic vasculitis related to a sub-acute inflammatory panarteritis, histologically characterized by segmentary and plurifocal damage, with giant cells and destruction of the internal elastic lamina. GCA involves large and medium sized vessels in subjects over 50, particularly between 75 and 85, and is more common in women (7:3sex-ratio). This arteriti...
Giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA) is characterized by a granulomatous inflammatory reaction that penetrates all layers of the wall of mediumto large-sized arteries (1). The transmural vasculitis is particularly prone to involve cranial arteries such as the superficial temporal artery (TA), but not infrequently the disease extends to involve large muscular arteries including the subclavian a...
