Scalp necrosis in giant cell arteritis: Case report and review of the relevance of this cutaneous sign of large-vessel vasculitis
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 08/28/09
Tsianakas A et al. – In patients with scalp necrosis, the diagnosis of GCA was made about 1 month later than in patients without scalp necrosis, and scalp necrosis was never reported to occur after onset of therapy with glucocorticoids. Thus, for reasons beyond potential loss of vision, physicians should be alert for symptoms of GCA as only timely diagnosis and immediate therapy may prevent serious complications and increased mortality.
