A 65-year-old with new severe headache and pain on eating (jaw claudication) suggests giant cell arteritis; in patients over 50 with new headache the ESR should be checked.
- The allergic-rhinitis history tempts towards sinusitis (sinus X-ray), but jaw claudication points to GCA.
- LP and CT do not test for GCA.
