“…Temporal arteritis has also been associated with extreme ear pain (Aui-Aree et al, 2010). Other cutaneous conditions and manifestations with which temporal arteritis has had rare associations include psoriatic arthritis, scalp abscess, scalp ulceration with necrosis, butterfly rash of the face, tongue changes, gangrene or ulcers of the leg, purpura and ecchymoses, urticaria, edema, lividity, tender nodules, hyperpigmentation, tortuous arteries, and supravascular pallor (Aui-Aree et al, 2010, Baum et al, 1982, Corli et al, 2015, Kinmont and McCallum, 1964). …”

Actinic granuloma is a rare granulomatous reaction that is more commonly seen in females and thought to occur as an autoimmune response to actinic damage of elastic tissue. We discuss a case of a patient with actinic granuloma presenting with concomitant temporal arteritis. Our case and review of the literature emphasize the association between actinic granuloma and temporal arteritis, a serious inflammatory condition that could lead to blindness if misdiagnosed.

“…In this regard, it is noteworthy that many case reports and small published series of GCA patients with unusual cranial ischemic complications such as cerebrovascular accidents or tongue or scalp necrosis include a seemingly high proportion of individuals with visual loss (18)(19)(20)(21)(22). In addition, when we compared the overall duration of clinical symptoms prior to diagnosis and treatment, we found no significant differences between patients with and those without cranial ischemic complications.…”

“…A trend toward a lower frequency of fever among patients with transient or definitive ocular involvement has been observed in smaller series (28,29). A substantial number of case reports of patients with cranial ischemic manifestations describe a close-to-normal ESR (5,18,20,21,(30)(31)(32)(33)(34).…”

Association between strong inflammatory response and low risk of developing visual loss and other cranial ischemic complications in giant cell (temporal) arteritis

The presence of a strong acute-phase response defines a subgroup of patients at very low risk of developing cranial ischemic complications. Our findings provide a rationale for testing less aggressive treatment schedules in these individuals. Conversely, a low inflammatory response and the presence of transient cranial ischemic events provide a high risk of developing irreversible ischemic complications and require a prompt therapeutic intervention.

Resumo:As vasculites são constituídas por um grande grupo de síndromes caracterizadas por inflamação e necrose da parede dos vasos sangüíneos, resultando em estreitamento ou oclusão do lúmen. A distribuição dos vasos envolvidos varia consideravelmente e serve de base para a classificação das síndromes vasculíticas: grandes vasos (arterite de Takayasu, arterite temporal); pequenos e médios vasos (poliarterite nodosa, síndrome de Churg-Strauss, granulomatose de Wegener, vasculites nas doenças reumáticas); e pequenos vasos (vasculite de hipersensibilidade, púrpura de Henoch-Schonlein, poliangeíte microscópica, crioglobulinemia). Este artigo revisa as vasculites dos médios e grandes vasos e opções terapêuticas atuais; além de oferecer orientação sobre abordagem diagnóstica e tratamento dos pacientes com suspeita de vasculite cutânea. Palavras-chave: Anticorpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilos; Arterite de células gigantes; Arterite de Takayasu; Doenças reumáticas; Granulomatose de Wegener; Poliarterite nodosa; Púrpura; Síndrome de Churg-Strauss; Vasculite; Vasculite alérgica cutânea Abstract: Vasculitis comprises a broad group of syndromes characterized by inflammation and necrosis on the walls of blood vessels, resulting in narrowing or occlusion of the lumen. The distribution of involved blood vessel varies considerably and serves as the basis for one classification of vasculitic syndromes: large vessels (Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis); medium and small muscular arteries (polyarteritis nodosa, Churg-Strauss syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, vasculitis in rheumatic diseases); and small vessels ("hypersensitivity" vasculitis, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, microscopic polyangiitis, cryoglobulinemia). This article reviews medium and large vessel vasculitis and current treatment options; it also presents a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating patients with suspected cutaneous vasculitis.
