Abstract
L'artérite de Horton (AH), une vasculite subaiguë à chronique, est la plus fréquente des vasculites systémiques dans la population âgée de plus de 50 ans. L'absence de critères diagnostiques univoques, ajoutée au fait que le tableau clinique souvent complexe nécessite une prise en charge multidisciplinaire, conduit assez régulièrement à un retard thérapeutique. Il s'agit pourtant d'une maladie nécessitant un traitement urgent en raison du risque de cécité. Cet article présente une revue de l'AH et se conclut par des recommandations institutionnelles lausannoises concernant le diagnostic, la thérapie et la prise en charge multidisciplinaire.
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a subacute/chronic vasculitis and represents the most common form of systemic vasculitis in people over the age of 50 years. The absence of clear and specific diagnostic criteria with the highly variable clinical presentation is a diagnostic challenge requesting a multidisciplinary approach. Yet, GCA is an emergency and the treatment must be initiated very rapidly due to the risk of blindness. This article presents a review of GCA as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic institutional guidelines of the University Hospital of Lausanne.
