  • Title: [Association of Horton's disease and periarteritis nodosa. Apropos of 3 cases].
    Author: Godeau P, Lemaitre MO, Wechsler B, Guillevin L, Herson S.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1984 Jan 12; 60(1):30-4. PubMed ID: 6141642.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of giant cell arteritis associated with periarteritis nodosa are reported. A review of the literature showed 16 similar reports. Giant cell arteritis features in temporal arteries were associated with periarteritis features in visceral or peripheral arteries in 5 cases only. Association of these two conditions seems to be uncommon and may be coincidental but does not justify including giant cell arteritis within the group of necrotizing angiitis. Awareness of this association nevertheless has practical implications as these cases should be treated as PAN patients.
