Temporal arteritis, a rare condition, has unexplained factors influencing its occurrence in younger individuals and non-Scandinavian populations. This review covers its history, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Temporal arteritis, also known as giant cell arteritis, is a vasculitis affecting large and medium arteries.
  • Its epidemiology shows unexplained rarity in younger patients and specific ethnic groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of temporal arteritis.
  • To explore the disease's history, potential causes, clinical features, and management difficulties.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical and current research on temporal arteritis.
  • Synthesis of information regarding etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Temporal arteritis etiology remains incompletely understood, with microbial and immunologic factors proposed.
