  • Title: Insidious posterior circulation stroke with rapid deterioration due to vertebral giant cell arteritis.
    Author: Kumar A, Costa DD.
    Journal: Age Ageing; 2007 Nov; 36(6):695-7. PubMed ID: 17965041.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with a posterior circulation stroke that presented insidiously, progressed rapidly and had an unusual aetiology of vertebral giant cell arteritis that was not recognised in a timely fashion. General awareness of this cause might alert clinicians to consider the diagnosis in similar cases, as prompt intervention may improve outcomes.
