Behcet's syndrome is a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by a chronic relapsing course and diverse clinical manifestations, prominently affecting young adults along the ancient Silk Road and beyond. The disease pathogenesis involves complex interactions between genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and dysregulated immune responses, leading to systemic vasculitis and tissue damage. Ocular involvement, a hallmark of Behcet's Disease (BD), significantly impacts morbidity, with uveitis as a common initial presentation that can progress to severe vision-threatening complications like retinal vasculitis and occlusive disease.

Objectives: To investigate the histopathological features of the temporalis muscle (TM) and adjacent nerve tissue in active cranial giant cell arteritis (C-GCA).

Methods: Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) specimens containing fragments of the TM from patients with active C-GCA fulfilling the 2022 ACR/EULAR classification criteria (n = 11) were assessed by conventional histology and immunohistochemistry in comparison with non-GCA controls (n = 3). Clinical, laboratory and imaging features based on patient charts at time of biopsy were retrospectively recorded.
