  • Title: [Internal carotid stenosis and giant cell arteritis].
    Author: Erro ME, Aymerich N, Gállego J, Olier J, Ayuso T, Lacruz F.
    Journal: Neurologia; 2003 Sep; 18(7):409-12. PubMed ID: 14505252.
    Abstract:
    We report on the case of a 69-year-old man admitted with a transient ischemic attack preceded by a two months history of severe headache. Giant cell arteritis was diagnosed by means of temporal artery biopsy. Angiography showed an intra- and extracranial stenosis of the left internal carotid artery. The possible relationship between this stenosis and vasculitis is discussed and stroke as a clinical manifestation of the giant cell arteritis is reviewed.
