  • Title: Detection of asymptomatic aortic involvement in ANCA-associated vasculitis using FDG PET/CT.
    Author: Soussan M, Abad S, Mékinian A, Dhote R, Eder V.
    Journal: Clin Exp Rheumatol; 2013; 31(1 Suppl 75):S56-8. PubMed ID: 23294518.
    Abstract:
    Large vessel involvement in ANCA-associated vasculitis is very rare. We report here on the case of two patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis and asymptomatic aortic arch involvement diagnosed using FDG-PET/CT. Because aortic involvement in ANCA-associated vasculitis is a potentially life-threatening condition, its early detection can be crucial. FDG-PET/CT may also provide new insights into large vessel involvement as part of the spectrum of ANCA-associated vasculitis.
