“…A trend toward a lower frequency of fever among patients with transient or definitive ocular involvement has been observed in smaller series (28,29). A substantial number of case reports of patients with cranial ischemic manifestations describe a close-to-normal ESR (5,18,20,21,(30)(31)(32)(33)(34).…”

The presence of a strong acute-phase response defines a subgroup of patients at very low risk of developing cranial ischemic complications. Our findings provide a rationale for testing less aggressive treatment schedules in these individuals. Conversely, a low inflammatory response and the presence of transient cranial ischemic events provide a high risk of developing irreversible ischemic complications and require a prompt therapeutic intervention.

“…Repeated erythrocyte sedimentation rates are warranted, for in some cases the test may be normal at the onset of the disease and rise with the spread of arteritis in space and time 23,24 . The temporal artery biopsy may be negative because the lesions skip along the vessel or because the biopsied artery is uninvolved 25,26 . Repeated temporal artery biopsies result in higher positive yields 22 but this practice is often not practical.…”

Patients with temporal arteritis may be misdiagnosed because the headache does not affect the temples. The records of 24 patients with biopsy proven temporal arteritis were reviewed to determine the site and other qualities of headache. Past reports of the sites of headache in this disease were also reviewed. The temporal area was the sole site of headache in only six of 24 patients; the temple was included in pain that affected the frontal, vertex, and occipital areas in another seven patients. Two patients had generalized headaches. The headache did not involve the temple in seven patients and two patients did not experience headaches. Temporal arteritis should be considered in every elderly individual who begins to complain of headache, no matter what the site, quality, severity, or time pattern.

“…Durch die Einführung der Kortikosteroidtherapie konnte die Rate der Patienten mit RZA, die an ihrer Erkrankung erblinden, auf 5 ± 9 % gesenkt werden [2,9]. Trotzdem gibt es nach wie vor Berichte über eine bilaterale Amaurose bei Patienten mit RZA [4,6,7,12,17]. Wir wollten die Häufigkeit und klinischen Besonderheiten von Patienten mit vollständiger Erblindung im Rahmen einer RZA untersuchen.…”
