Validation of a multimodal algorithm for diagnosing giant cell arteritis with imaging
2022, Diagnostic and Interventional ImagingCitation Excerpt :Although debated, temporal artery biopsy (TAB) remains widely performed for the diagnosis of GCA despite its lack of sensitivity, estimated at approximately 75%, its invasiveness and the risks related to the intervention [3]. Several diagnostic tools have recently been tested for diagnosing GCA, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [4–15], ultrasound [15–24] or retinal angiography (RA) [25,26]. This strategy is supported by the most recent European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) guidelines, which state that a suspected diagnosis of GCA should be confirmed by imaging (ultrasound or MRI for temporal or other cranial arteries), ultrasound, CT, positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) or MRI for the aorta/extracranial arteries or histopathological analysis with TAB [27,28].
Review of Giant cell arteritis
2015, Saudi Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Cotton wool spots may also be seen in the retina and indicate concurrent retinal ischemia. Fluorescein angiography (FA) may be helpful to identify choroidal hypoperfusion and aid in the timely diagnosis of GCA.7 The two most important labs to order to help make the diagnosis of GCA are the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and the C-Reactive Protein (CRP).

2007, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :The affected vessels can occlude, leading to infarction, especially to arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION).120 In contrast to non arteritic AION, patients with giant cell arteritis suffer often from amaurosis fugax before the acute event and the choroidal perfusion is more affected.123 In addition, they often respond to calcium channel blockers and they develop slight excavation of ONH.98
