RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 An unusual case of giant cell arteritis JF Practical Neurology JO Pract Neurol FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP 228 OP 230 DO 10.1136/practneurol-2020-002912 VO 21 IS 3 A1 Pauls, Mathilde A1 Singh, Mantegh A1 Martin, Peter YR 2021 UL http://pn.bmj.com/content/21/3/228.abstract AB A 73-year-old man presented with unsteadiness and general malaise and later had problems with cognition. This was initially diagnosed as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, but he was later found to have giant cell arteritis. Neurologists and physicians should be aware that giant cell arteritis can present with encephalopathy rather than the more typical features of headache, jaw pain and visual disturbance.
