Large Vessel Vasculitis Primarily Affecting the Lower Extremities

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the presentation and potential for spontaneous recovery in lower extremity vasculitis.
Assessment of symptoms including pain and stiffness in lower extremities.
Consideration of diagnosis in patients with typical inflammation findings.
Observation of patient outcomes regarding symptom resolution.
Spontaneous improvement was noted in patients without typical symptoms of giant cell arteritis (GCA).
Inflammation and pain were significant indicators for diagnosis in some cases.

Abstract

Although rare, vasculitis affecting LE should be considered in patients with inflammation and pain and/or stiffness of the LE. Spontaneous improvement may be seen in some patients not presenting with typical symptoms and findings of GCA.
