Preferred Label : giant cell arteritis;
MeSH definition : A systemic autoimmune disorder that typically affects medium and large ARTERIES, usually
leading to occlusive granulomatous vasculitis with transmural infiltrate containing
multinucleated GIANT CELLS. The TEMPORAL ARTERY is commonly involved. This disorder
appears primarily in people over the age of 50. Symptoms include FEVER; FATIGUE; HEADACHE;
visual impairment; pain in the jaw and tongue; and aggravation of pain by cold temperatures.
(From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed);
