[Unusual course of Horton's arteritis (author's transl)].
It is generally accepted that the criteria for the diagnosis of temporal arteritis are increased blood sedimentation rate, advanced age and a generally poor state of health, accompanied by cephalalgia. However, as the case histories of three patients show, the absence of one or several of these criteria does not rule out the diagnosis.
