Article Synopsis
- Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common condition in individuals over 50 that can lead to serious issues like vision loss if not diagnosed quickly.
- This study assesses the effectiveness of using color Doppler ultrasound as the first step for diagnosing GCA, followed by temporal artery biopsy for those who test negative on the ultrasound.
- The findings showed that ultrasound confirmed GCA in 44% of cases, compared to 17% for biopsy and 21% for other methods, but the study had limitations like a small sample size and no objective gold-standard for comparison.
Metastatic disease involving the stomach is unusual. We report the case of a gastric metastasis from ovarian cancer revealed by gastro-splenic perforation. The gastric metastasis was diagnosed 17 years after the diagnosis of primary cancer.
