title: A case of trigeminal neuralgia complicated by ipsilateral temporal arteritis.
abstract: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) complicated with temporal arteritis (TA) is not a common disease, but it is a very important syndrome to consider for diagnosing facial pain in individuals older than 50 years. We therefore report on a rare case of TN with TA that occurred simultaneously on the same side with each symptom responding to specific treatment.
