A member asked:

My mri and mra were normal, but i still have the symptoms of arteritis. is there anything that mimics this condition?

Dr. Zachary Veres answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Headache: CLuster headaches, tension head aches, aneurysms, tumors, and migraine variants could mimic arteritis symptoms. Serious conditions have since been eliminated with normal MRI and MRA. Electrolyte abnormalities and medication side effects could also cause symptoms. Hope this helps.
