Giant cell arteritis (GCA) can affect major brain arteries, including the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries, which is often underdiagnosed. Early diagnosis via angiography and prompt steroid treatment are crucial for managing this life-threatening condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis primarily affecting large and medium arteries.
  • Cerebral involvement in GCA is recognized but often underdiagnosed, with limited reports on specific arterial territories.

Observation:

  • A case of GCA involving the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries, alongside both carotid siphons, is presented.
  • Angiography played a critical role in diagnosing the extent of arterial involvement.

Findings:

  • The study highlights that GCA can affect cerebral arteries beyond the commonly reported carotid siphon.
  • Literature review revealed misconceptions regarding GCA diagnosis, suggesting potential underdiagnosis of its cerebral manifestations.

Implications:

  • Recognizing GCA's potential to involve anterior and posterior cerebral arteries is vital for timely diagnosis and intervention.
  • Radiologists are positioned to be key in the early detection of GCA, enabling effective steroid management and preventing severe outcomes.
