Effect of ultrasound use on the pathological outcomes in temporal artery biopsy

Öz

Aim:This study aimed to determine whether there is a significant difference between the results of a standard biopsy and Doppler ultrasonography-guided biopsy of the temporal artery, which showed low preoperative pulse pressure. Material and Methods: Data from 21 patients, who received preliminary diagnosis of temporal arteritis at the neurology clinic were retrospectively investigated. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the method with Doppler ultrasonography and without ultrasonography. Results: Results from a total of 21 patients were evaluated. The first group consisted of 11 patients who underwent standard temporal artery biopsy, while the second group consisted of 10 patients who underwent ultrasonography-guided biopsy. Six patients in the group without the ultrasonography guidance showed insignificant results. Furthermore, the samples were insufficient in four of these six patients. In contrast, four patients from the Doppler ultrasonography-guided group were diagnosed with arteritis, in addition to the fact that an insufficient biopsy sample was not encountered in these patients. Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the pathology results of the two groups. Conclusion: Although we failed to find a significant difference between the groups, we believe that the Doppler ultrasonography-guided biopsy should be used as a supportive tool rather than diagnostic tool per se, as the Doppler ultrasonography-guided group did not provide insufficient biopsy samples in the pathology results as opposed to the standard group.
