Comparative analysis of arterial involvement in predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis using 18F-FDG PET-CT
Significant differences in arterial involvement patterns on <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET-CT were observed between phenotypes. These findings may explain atypical symptoms such as inflammatory lower back pain or limb claudication and the increased risk of aortic complications in extracranial GCA.
