Research Article: Giant cell temporal arteritis: a clinicopathological study with emphasis on unnecessary biopsy

Date Published: 2023-12-06

Abstract:
Introduction: Temporal artery (TA) biopsy is commonly used for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA). However, a positive biopsy is no longer mandatory for diagnosis. This study aims to correlate the histopathological findings of TA biopsies in suspected cases of GCA to the clinical presentation in an ophthalmic tertiary eye care center to draw useful conclusions and advocate the possible implementation of guidelines for TA biopsy.
