UNASSIGNED: An 82-year-old @entity1 came to consultation with sudden @entity227 . Fifteen days before, she complained of @entity892 . She had doubtful symptoms of @entity226 and showed a normal physical exam. Lab results showed erythrosedimentation rate (ESR) = 62  mm/1  h; @entity5507 = 0.56  g/dl (normal <0.45); serum @entity1011 = 1.7  mg% (normal <1.4); low @entity460 and @entity3151 ; and normal urine @entity460 and serous @entity461 . Fundus exam and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed normality of optic nerves, chiasma, retrochiasmatic area, ocular muscles, eyeballs, lacrimal glands, periorbital fat, cavernous sinuses, and occipital cortex. A @entity226 was suspected; therefore, a biopsy was carried on. It showed the presence of large @entity460 deposits in the artery's tunica media and internal elastic lamina, with narrowing of the lumen, with no @entity32 and multinuclear giant cells. Histological diagnosis is @entity13375 . Although @entity13375 is a well-described entity that occurs in end-stage renal @entity1 , many cases are due to non-uremic causes. To date, there are only six cases described in literature of @entity13375 mimicking GCA.
