Abstract
Background
Diagnosis of giant cell arteritis has traditionally relied on demonstration of pathologic
changes on temporal artery biopsy.
Method
To highlight recent advances in large vessel imaging resulting in revised diagnostic
criteria for giant cell arteritis.
Conclusion
We call attention to the revised diagnostic criteria imaging evidence of extracranial
large vessel thickening as an alternative to temporal artery biopsy in diagnosis of
giant cell arteritis in a patient with heralding anterior fornix infarct.
