Given the wide spectrum of presentations of giant cell arteritis, physicians need to be equally familiar with both typical and atypical presentations.

No ascites or hepatomegaly were noted on initial exam. However, pontine stroke as a cause of atypical odontalgia is limited to only a few cases, hence prevalence is not established.

Second, clinicians should be aware that some patients will initially present with various uncommon and atypical stroke symptoms. In the absence of highly sensitive positive diagnostic tools, our ability to clinically ascribe transient symptoms (TS) to an ischemic rather than to a nonischemic cause remains limited, as illustrated by the low interobserver agreement for the clinical diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA), even among stroke specialists.1 This holds particularly true for isolated atypical symptoms as they can be the consequence of many diseases ⦠Hypopituitarism can result from diseases of the pituitary gland or diseases of the hypothalamus.
