Temporal arteritis is the clinically recognized cranial manifestation of this disease and is easily proved by biopsy. In the absence of extracranial arterial involvement, however, the diagnosis of giant-cell arteritis is seldom established during life (Paulley and Hughes, 1960). There are few reports of the use of cerebral angiography in the diagnosis of giant-cell arteritis. Occlusion of the internal carotid artery in the neck (LeBeau, Taptas and Blatrix, 1948) and narrowing of the carotid siphon (Hauss and Burwinkel, 1949) were described, and alternating calibre changes in the superficial temporal artery were recently reported as reliable angiographic findings in this condition (Gillanders, 1969; Gillanders, Strachan and Blair, 1969; Elliott, Baker and Brown, 1972). Hinck, Carter and Rippey (1964) published the only recorded case of giant-cell arteritis with abnormal intracranial vessels shown at angiography. ... |
