Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic disease of the elderly that occurs infrequently in blacks and seldom has peripheral vascular disease and stroke as its presenting major complications. The occurrence of bilateral lower limb gangrene and a fatal stroke as manifestations of occult systemic GCA in an African-American is such a unique combination of rare occurrences that it warrants documentation in the literature.
巨细胞动脉炎（GCA）是一种老年人的全身性疾病，在黑人中很少见，很少有外周血管疾病和中风作为主要并发症出现。一名非裔美国人出现双侧下肢坏疽和致命性中风作为隐匿性全身性GCA的表现，这种罕见情况的独特组合值得在文献中记录。
