Physicians should be familiar with May-Thurner syndrome, characterized by the compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery and the vertebral body, resulting in pain and swelling of the left lower extremity and DVT. A 64-year-old woman presented with unexplained edema in the left lower extremity.

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.
