Skip Lesions in Temporal Arteritis
Open accessAbstract
Although isolated foci of arteritis ("skip lesions") are presumed to occur in temporal arteritis, there is little documentation of their existence or significance. We have identified skip lesions in 17 of 60 patients (28%) with temporal arteritis, based on a retrospective and prospective examination of temporal artery biopsy specimens. By examining more than 6,000 serial sections of arteries from patients with skip lesions, we have found foci or arteritis as short as 330 mu in length in an otherwise normal biopsy specimen. Our study emphasizes the need to biopsy long segments of artery, to examine multiple histologic sections, and to perform a contralateral temporal artery biopsy when frozen-section examination of the first side is normal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
