Background: Diagnosis of giant cell arteritis has traditionally relied on demonstration of pathologic changes on temporal artery biopsy.
Method: To highlight recent advances in large vessel imaging resulting in revised diagnostic criteria for giant cell arteritis.
Conclusion: We call attention to the revised diagnostic criteria imaging evidence of extracranial large vessel thickening as an alternative to temporal artery biopsy in diagnosis of giant cell arteritis in a patient with heralding anterior fornix infarct.
