Abstract
The detailed clinical findings of a 65 yr old woman who developed aortic regurgitation caused by giant cell aortitis are presented. The initial phase of the disease was dominated by severe non-specific constitutional symptomatology, suggesting infective endocarditis or a malignancy. Aortic regurgitation as a manifestation of giant cell arteritis has previously received scant attention in the literature. The clinical and therapeutic relevance of this masquerade is discussed.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
