Abstract

Temporal arteritis or giant cell arteritis involved with large and medium sized vessels is a chronic vasculitis. It is known that this disease is usually an elderly age disease, and there are headache especially seen on the temporal area, polymyalgia rheumatica as clasical symptoms. However, also, it might raise with another findings. In this article, we presented a case initially considered as the complication of sinusitis, had bilateral peri-orbital eudema and ecchymosis and had acute infection findings. Temporal arteritis was diagnosed after temporal artery biobsy was performed. The reason of presenting this case to emphasize the necessity of taking into consideration the systemic disease for the patients applied with acute infection findings in the head and neck region infections

Özet

Temporal arterit ya da dev hücreli arterit orta büyüklükte ve büyük arterlerin kronik vaskülitidir. Genellikle ileri yaş hastalığı olup etyolojisi bilinmemektedir. Özellikle temporal bölgede yoğunlaşan baş ağrısı, görme bozuklukları, çene hareketlerinde kısıtlılık ve polimyaljia romatika sık görülen bulguları olsa da değişik bulgularla da ortaya çıkabilir. Bu yazıda öncelikle sinüzit komplikasyonu olarak düşünülen ve her iki periorbital bölgede gözü kapatacak şekilde ödem ve ekimozu olan bir olgu sunulmuştur. Akut enfeksiyon bulgularıyla gelen hastada temporal arter biyopsisinde dev hücreli arterit tanısı konmuştur. Bu yazının sunulmasındaki amaç, başboyun bölgesinde akut enfeksiyon bulgularıyla gelen hastalarda sistemik bir nedenin olabileceğini vurgulamaktır.
