  • Title: [Hutchinson-Horton giant cell arteritis and rhizomelic polymyalgia. I. Hutchinson-Horton arteritis].
    Author: Lovisetto P, Marchi L, Gilardi E, Mairano D, Biarese V.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1984 Apr 21; 75(17):951-4. PubMed ID: 6328364.
    Abstract:
    Temporal arteritis (also known as Horton's or giant cell arteritis) is a panarteritis of the large and medium-calibre cranial vessels. An account is given of its epidemiological, clinical and anatomopathological aspects and its involvement of the locomotor apparatus (Horton's rheumatism). Reference is also made to the close relationship between temporal arteritis and pulseless disease. Some workers are of the opinion that they share the same aetiology, and that their clinical expression in different areas is dictated by age and constitutional factors.
