入选标准

  • Age > 60 years
  • Diagnosis of : - GCA (according to ACR criteria or positive temporal artery biopsy) (de novo and/or relapse) - And neurovascular involvement: 􀂃 Defined by PET uptake of vertebral and/or carotid arteries (extra or intra cranial) or angioCT/MRI showing arterial involvement inconsistent with atherosclerosis 􀂃 Either Ischemic stroke (including TIA) in the vertebro-basilar or carotid territory (symptomatic arterial involvement) 􀂃 Without Ischemic stroke (including TIA) (asymptomatic arterial involvement)
  • Inclusion should be done  within 4 weeks after the stroke concerning the “symptomatic” patients  within 4 weeks after the diagnosis of GCA (or relapse) concerning the patients with asymptomatic neurovascular involvement.  Within 21 days after starting the corticosteroids
  • Signed Informed Consent Form
