CONy 2023 | Management of temporal arteritis

Bruno Gran, MD, PhD, FRCP, The University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK, describes the management of temporal arteritis. Corticosteroids remain the primary modality of treatment to date and have been shown to prevent blindness and suppress disease activity. Initiation of corticosteroids shall be considered as soon as possible in suspected cases. Regarding tocilizumab, the time of initiation varies across countries, with some allowing its use from the start while others can only use it in relapsing disease. This interview took place at the 17th World Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy) in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
