Clinical Manifestations
- Varied, depending on location and cause
- Classically, back or abdominal pain with fever
- May cause aortic regurgitation and acute aortic syndrome
Differential Diagnosis
- Inflammatory disorders
- Large-vessel vasculitis: giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter syndrome
- Other vasculitides: ANCA-associated vasculitis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis, polyarteritis nodosum, microscopic polyangiitis), Behçet disease, Cogan syndrome, relapsing polychondritis
- Sarcoidosis
- Isolated aortitis
- Infections
- Bacterial: Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, others
- Syphilis
- Tuberculous aortitis
Investigations
- CTA or MRA to noninvasively confirm the diagnosis
- Duplex ultrasound of temporal arteries, looking for halo sign to suggest GCA
- CBC, creatinine, liver panel, ESR/CRP
- Blood cultures, for bacterial cause
- Syphilis serology
- Tuberculin skin test
- Rheumatology panel: ANA, ANCA, RF
Further Reading
- Aortitis. Circulation. 2008;117(23):3039–51. doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.760686
