Comparative analysis of arterial involvement in predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis using F-FDG PET-CT.

Department of Rheumatology, Hospital Universitario de Bellvitge. Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), Barcelona, Spain.
Objective: To investigate differences in arterial involvement patterns on F-FDG PET-CT between predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis (GCA).
Methods: A retrospective review of F-FDG PET-CT findings was conducted on 140 patients with confirmed GCA. The patients were divided into two groups: the cranial group, which presented craniofacial ischemic symptoms either at diagnosis or during follow-up, and the isolated extracranial group which never exhibited such manifestations.

Asbestos exposure is a well-documented cause of pulmonary diseases. However, its systemic effects, particularly on the cardiovascular system, are less understood. We expose a case that highlights an unusual cardiovascular manifestation in a patient with a history of pleural asbestosis compressing the aorta and clinically manifested as lower limb claudication.

University of Minnesota School of Public Health, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Objective: Most individuals with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) experience symptoms other than claudication and live with undiagnosed PAD yet no tools exist to detect atypical PAD symptoms. The purpose of this study was to identify discriminating PAD symptom descriptors from a community-based sample of patients with no current diagnosis of PAD.
Methods: Symptoms descriptors were obtained in a sample of 22 participants with persistent lower extremity symptoms pre/post exercise.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a relatively rare, auto-immune vasculitis, more common in women over age 50. It is important to recognize and treat the disease early to prevent late complications of permanent vision loss. Inflammation-associated weakening of vessel walls involved by GCA may also represent a potential etiology for intracranial aneurysm development.
