Giant cell arteritis (GCA) (or Horton's disease) is a segmental and focal inflammatory arteritis affecting large and medium-sized arteries. Its incidence is estimated at 17.8/100,000 in subjects over 50 years old (and 46/100,000 in subjects over 70 years old). This disease remains a severe pathology due in particular to its vascular, ophthalmological, neurological, cardiac and aortic complications. In case of suspected CAG, management is a real therapeutic emergency. Indeed, only corticosteroid therapy started as early as possible can prevent the occurrence of these complications. The gold standard for the diagnosis of CAG has long been the temporal artery biopsy, but imaging is now considered as a 1st line diagnostic examination for the diagnosis of CAG according to the EULAR 2018 recommendations. Notably, temporal artery MRI has excellent sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis. Ho
