Active Giant Cell Vasculitis Diagnosis with ⁶⁸Ga PSMA PET/CT Imaging

Giant cell arteritis presenting as renal vasculitis.

Giant cell arteritis commonly presents with headache, polymyalgia, and visual signs and symptoms. Other neurological, respiratory or vascular symptoms occur in 10-30% of patients. It is extremely rare for giant cell arteritis to present initially with haematuria. Here we describe a case which presented with fever and haematuria, which emphasise the need to be vigilant about the diagnosis of gia...

Angiotropic large cell lymphoma with imaging characteristics of CNS vasculitis.

This report documents a case of angiotropic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with imaging characteristics of CNS vasculitis. A 47-year-old man was unresponsive after a 5-month progression of neurologic deterioration and intermittent fevers. MR imaging revealed multiple areas of abnormally increased T2 signal intensity in the cerebral cortex and subcortical white matter. Despite corticosteroid treatme...

Giant cell arteritis: A rare cause of posterior vasculitis

PURPOSE To report three cases of posterior vasculitis associated with subacute giant cell arteritis (GCA). METHODS Three patients with decreased vision underwent complete ophthalmologic examination and fluorescein angiography. RESULTS All patients presented posterior vasculitis. Patient 1 had an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of 38 mm/hr and a C-reactive protein (CRP) of 28mg/L. Patie...
