Giant cell arteritis.
1996
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) was considered a rare disease 50 years ago; however, it is now known to be an important and significant cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly people. GCA is a generalised arteritis, although the aetiology and pathogenesis of this disorder are poorly understood. It is likely that there are environmental or genetic factors that significantly influence the risk for the disease in different populations.
