A 76-year-old man with no significant past medical history presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of diffuse headaches associated with fever, loss of appetite, weight loss and general malaise. A CT scan of the brain showed bilateral shallow chronic low density subdural haematomas. A complete laboratory panel was unremarkable except for a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate and elevated C-reactive protein. A transthoracic echocardiogram and CT scan of the body were unremarkable. MRI of the brain confirmed bilateral old subdural collections and showed marked vessel wall enhancement in the frontal branches of the left superficial temporal artery. A left temporal artery biopsy confirmed giant cell temporal arteritis. We speculate that a vasculitic process in the small subdural arteries may have contributed to our patient\u2019s spontaneous subdural haematomas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12890\/2016_000441","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,30]],"date-time":"2017-03-30T06:30:14Z","timestamp":1490855414000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Giant Cell Arteritis Presenting with Bilateral Subdural Haematomas of Arterial Origin"],"prefix":"10.12890","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Gabr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Internal Medicine, University Hospital Limerick, Limerick"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khalid","family":"El Kholy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Internal Medicine, University Hospital Limerick, Limerick"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Crotty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University Hospital Limerick, Limerick"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"O\u2019Connor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatric Medicine, University Hospital Limerick, Limerick"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elijah","family":"Chaila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital Limerick, Limerick"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10397","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.12890\/2016_000441_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"<li>Guida A, Tufano A, Perna P, et al.
