[A case of temporal arteritis accompanied with appearance of "cold areas" on the liver scan (author's transl)].
The authors report a case of temporal arteritis accompanied with appearance of "cold areas" on the liver scan, regressing after steroid therapy. This observation confirms the existence of hepatic manifestation in giant cell arteritis and evokes a discussion of their mechanism. A hypothesis of hepatic ischemia is proposed.
