Temporal arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica – an acute condition in rheumatology.
Temporálna arteritída a polymyalgia rheumatica - akútny stav v reumatológii
Temporálna arteritída (TA) - M. Horton patří medzi vaskulitídy neznámej etiológie. Postihuje vetvy vonkajšej a vnútornej karotídy, ide však o generalizovanú obrovskobunkovú panarteritídu, ktorá móže zasiahnuť hociktorú veíkú alebo strednú artériu. Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) prebieha samostatné alebo spolu s TA. Prejavuje sa bolesťou a stuhnutím ramenného a bedrového pletenca. V článku sú uvedené dve kazuistiky. Prvá demonstruje typický příklad temporálnej arteritídy, druhá kombináciu temporálnej arteritídy s polymyalgia rheumatica.
Závěr:
Včasná diagnostika a liečba TA je základná podmienka záchrany zraku pacienta.

Summary
Temporal arteritis (TA), Horton`s disease, is vasculitis of unknown etiology affecting branches of the external and internal carotid arteries. However, in question is a generalized gigantocellular panarteritis that can affect any large or medium-size artery. Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) either follows an independent course or appears along with TA. It is manifested by pain and stiffening of the shoulder and lumbar regions. Presented are two case reports; one demonstrating a typical example of temporal arteritis, the other a combination of TA and polymyalgia rheumatica.
Conclusion:
Early diagnostics and treatment of TA is the precondition for preserving the patient’s eyesight.
