    Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) diagnosis in 14 patients revealed Polymyalgia Rheumatica as the most common symptom. Despite rare complications like blindness, all patients responded well to treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Vascular Medicine

    Context:

    • Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis primarily affecting large and medium arteries.
    • Diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion, inflammatory markers, and temporal artery biopsy.
    • Understanding GCA presentation and outcomes is crucial for timely intervention.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes of Giant Cell Arteritis patients.
    • To identify common symptoms, diagnostic markers, and rare complications associated with GCA.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of treatment in a cohort of GCA patients.

    Summary:

    • Fourteen patients diagnosed with GCA over five years were studied.
    • Polymyalgia Rheumatica (71%) was the most frequent symptom; blindness occurred in 14%.

  • Elevated ESR (100%), alpha-2 globulin increase (93%), and anemia (57%) were consistent findings; one patient had aortic arch syndrome.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the diverse clinical spectrum of GCA, including atypical presentations.
    • Emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent irreversible complications like blindness.
    • Demonstrates the generally favorable response to treatment in GCA patients, underscoring the effectiveness of current therapeutic strategies.
