摘要
The most frequently recognized clinical features of giant cell arteritis (GCA) derive from the involvement of the cranial arteries. In 10% of patients, however, the aorta and its major branches, are also affected. We report a case of a 53-year-old woman presenting with a fainting episode and diminished pulses in the upper extremities. Histologic examination of the temporal artery revealed features of giant cell arteritis.
