Types of Large vessel Vasculitis

1. Giant Cell Arteritis (Temporal Arteritis)
Giant Cell Arteritis, also known as Temporal Arteritis, is a form of large vessel vasculitis that predominantly affects the arteries in the head, leading to symptoms like severe headaches, scalp tenderness, and vision problems. 🤕👵 It is most common in individuals over 50 years old. The condition is characterized by the presence of giant cells in the inflamed arterial walls.

It is known for causing weakened pulses in the upper limbs, earning it the nickname "pulseless disease." 🚫💓 Predominantly seen in young women, the disease can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, and fever.
