Stenosing arteritis of the subclavian-axillary arteries (polymyalgia rheumatica sive arteritica).
According to recent investigations a stenosing arteritis of the subclavian-axillary arteries almost always is only one localization and an extreme variant of a systemic vascular disease, affecting aorta and large arteries, by pathologists called giant-cell arteritis or non-syphilitic aortitis and arteritis. The clinical manifestation of this disease process is often limited to a "painful shoulder syndrome".
