title: [Buerger disease. Report of an case, unusual for its site and clinical manifestations].
abstract: The diagnosis of Buerger's disease, like that of all arteritis, especially in the onset phase, can be difficult. The general criteria proposed by several authors, with the aim of codifying the verification of the disease, are sometimes too schematic and this collides with the existence of very variegated and polymorphous clinical situations, as well as totally atypical and unusual clinical patterns. On this subject we consider useful to report a case of Buerger's disease that presented some peculiar characteristics, the most important of which was the existence of an aneurysm of the left superficial temporal artery.
