[Lingual necrosis disclosing Horton's disease. Apropos of a case and a résumé and analysis of cases found in the medical literature].
The authors mention an observation of lingual necrosis revealing a Horton disease. The set of the usual aspects of the disease was not comprehensive and the inflammatory syndrom was rather weak; nevertheless the diagnosis of a giant cell panarteritis was admitted and a strong cortico-therapy quickly set up which greatly improved the patient. After a brief recall of the main clinical and biological signes of a Horton temporal arteritis, the circumstances, symptomatology evolution and treatment of this particular form of the disease are reviewed through 22 observations found in medical literature.
