Arteritis Temporalis

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common systemic vasculitis in elderly Norwegian patients. Scandinavian studies confirm that GCA usually starts rather acute and is diagnosed within less than two months in most cases. Temporal headache, tenderness and reduced pulsation of the temporal artery combined with significantly elevated ESR are typical features of the disease. A declining incidence from North to South across Europe has been found. The estimated annual incidence in Norway is 20.6-29.1 per 100.000 persons aged 50 years or more, which is among the highest worldwide. The high incidence in the Northern countries and the still incomplete understood ethiopathogenesis should encourage Scandinavian research on GCA.

Tongue Necrosis

While blindness is one of the typical clinical presentations of temporal arteritis, tongue necrosis, on the other hand, is an unusual complication of the disease. An 80 year old male patient presenting a sudden massive swelling of the tongue was admitted to the Hospital of Yverdon. The swelling rapidly progressed to a complete necrosis of the tongue within a few days. The clinical presentation, the dramatic evolution of the necrosis, and sudden unilateral blindness despite prompt treatment confirmed our diagnosis of temporal arteritis. However, all the examinations, including biopsy of the right temporal artery, remained non-specific for the disease. Our diagnosis was based on the unusual clinical presentation of the disease.
