Abstract

Giant cell arteritis - is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology, which is characterized by granulomatous giant-cell inflammation of predominantly extra- and intracranial blood vessels, occurring solely in advanced age patients. Differential diagnosis (particularly in the early stage) is rather difficult. Vertebral arteries involvement in this disease is a rare, but serious complication, which is associated with high mortality rate, despite hormonal therapy. Female patient with chronic cerebral ischemia, at whom angio imaging and laboratory examination revealed giant cell arteritis with vertebral artery involvement, is described.
