Temporal Arteritis

Granulomatous vasculitis—a clinical presentation

“…The cause of this disease remains a puzzle. It has been suggested that the initial pathologic change is in the nature of an auto-immune response where there is progressive alteration in the smooth muscle of the msdia, with secondary destruction of elastic fibres (Reinecke and Kuwabara, 1969). Such changes might excite the diffuse acute inflammatory infiltrate.…”

“…However, mechanical mismatch between these modified devices and the surrounding soft tissue remains to be the significant contributor to the observed migration of the implant. [16] In an attempt to address the mechanical mismatch, soft polymers such as silicon [17] and Teflon [18] have also been used to construct the artificial lacrimal bypass tube. While these soft implants accommodate the motion of the surrounding tissues, the apparent poor tissue binding along their smooth outer surface was found to be ineffective to prevent undesirable migration.…”
