  • Title: [Multiple neuropaty caused by giant cell arteritis. Clinico-pathological report of a case].
    Author: Moreira Filhio PF, de Freitas MR, Caldas ML, Almeida E.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1978 Sep; 36(3):259-64. PubMed ID: 687160.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 67 years old woman with giant cell arteritis and neuritis multiplex is reported. The diagnosis was based on the microscopic appearances of temporal artery biopsy specimens. The authors described the involvement of peripheral nerves in this disease and made differential diagnosis with polyarteritis nodosa. There was also hemorragic infarction of the brain without giant-cells in brain vessels. It is concluded that this diagnosis should be considered in any elderly patient with peripheral neuropathy.
