ABSTRACT
Thirteen cases of giant cell arteritis admitted to a Department of Internal Medicine between 1962 and 1977 are reviewed. Giant cell arteritis exhibited different clinical forms, including temporal arteritis, rheumatic polymyalgia, syndrome of the supra-aortic trunks, cranial arteritis in its ophthalmic and neurologic forms, and generalized arteritis. On the basis of the clinical data, overall examinations, laboratory tests, X-rays, angiograms and histopathologic findings the authors conclude that a single disease is involved. The fact that various of the symptoms occur simultaneously in different patients and that all of the clinical forms have a common pathologic basis points toward giant cell arteritis with different clinical manifestations.
