摘要

背景:巨细胞动脉炎(Giant cell arteritis, GCA)是一种大中型血管炎症，主要影响50岁以上人群。诊断需要迅速作出，以防止并发症。一旦确诊，应立即开始类固醇治疗。病例介绍:我们在此报告一例82岁男性颅内GCA。[18F]FDG PET/CT成像显示FDG在中等大小和颅血管中摄取较高。开始糖皮质激素治疗，随后症状和炎症标志物迅速明显改善。结论:本病例报告支持PET/CT混合成像作为评估颅骨GCA的有效无创工具的作用。

PET/CT uncovers cranial giant cell arteritis.

Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammation of large and medium sized vessels, mainly affecting people over 50 years of age. Diagnosis needs to be made quickly to prevent complications. Steroids treatment should be started once diagnosis is made.

Case presentation: Here we reported a case of cranial GCA in a 82-year-old man. [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging demonstrated higher FDG uptake in medium sized and cranial vessels. Glucocorticoid treatment was started, followed by a rapid and marked improvement of symptoms and inflammatory markers.

Conclusions: This case report supports the role of PET/CT hybrid imaging as a useful noninvasive tool in the evaluation of cranial GCA.
