本病自1890年Hutchinson首次报告以来,迄今已90余年。据近年的报告,50岁以上的老年人中本病颇为常见。现将文献作一复习,以加深对本病的认识。一、命名本病的命名未完全统一,每一种命名均有其局限性。老年性颞动脉炎反映了本病的年龄特点,病变好发部位。然而本病亦偶见于50岁以下的病人,病变也不一定局限于颞动脉。有学者称为巨细胞动脉炎,但在组织学上见到巨细胞并非本病所独 This disease has been more than 90 years since Hutchinson first reported in 1890. According to recent reports, the disease is quite common among people over 50 years of age. Now make a review of the literature to deepen the understanding of the disease.
