The clinical and laboratory features were atypical. This case highlights the importance of having a low threshold for considering a temporal artery biopsy as accurate diagnosis, and prompt intervention may improve outcomes. | Gov't Doc #: | 20627587 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11074 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jocn.2010.01.009 | Journal: | Journal of Clinical Neuroscience | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20627587 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Aged, 80 and over Cerebral Angiography Female Giant Cell Arteritis.complications.radiography Humans Ischemic Attack, Transient.etiology.radiography Temporal Arteries.radiography |
