    Abstract:
    Giant cell (temporal) arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica are related conditions that primarily affect older persons. They are among the most common chronic inflammatory disorders in this age group. In recent years, several new insights have been gained about the clinical features of these illnesses as well as their underlying pathophysiology. In addition, a great deal of study is underway to find better ways of detecting, monitoring, and treating them. This article provides a general review of these conditions, including their diagnosis and treatment.
