Abstract

Temporal arteritis (TA), also known as giant cell arteritis, is a chronic vasculitis of medium and large-sized blood vessels, in particular the main cervical branches of the aorta, with particular affinity to the temporal arteries and eye-supplying arteries. Temporal artery biopsy is still a gold standard for diagnosis, however in recent years colour duplex ultrasound examination has been proposed as a useful diagnostic screening tool in cases of TA suspicion. We report three cases of TA in which the ultrasonographical examination of the temporal arteries had a decisive role in the diagnosis.

摘要

颞动脉炎（TA），也称为巨细胞动脉炎，是一种中大型血管的慢性血管炎，特别是主动脉的主要颈部分支，对颞动脉和眼供血动脉有特殊亲和力。颞动脉活检仍然是诊断的金标准，然而近年来，彩色双功超声检查已被提议作为怀疑TA病例的一种有用的诊断筛查工具。我们报告了3例TA病例，其中颞动脉的超声检查在诊断中起了决定性作用。
