Abstract

Juvenile temporal arteritis is a rare inflammatory disease of the temporal arteries that affects young adults. The clinical course is benign and the surgical excision of the affected artery is usually curative. Here we report a case of bilateral juvenile temporal arteritis with significant peripheral eosinophilia and elevated IgE, refractory to surgical excision and even to a short course of corticosteroids. Methotrexate, added as a steroid-sparing agent, resulted in a good disease control.
