J Am Acad Dermatol. 2002 Feb;46(2 Suppl Case Reports):S14-5. doi: 10.1067/mjd.2002.104972.

Abstract

Temporal arteritis is a giant cell arteritis that affects large- or medium-sized elastic arteries. Often, only 1 temporal artery is affected. We describe a patient with both temporal arteries being involved simultaneously. To our knowledge, this particular constellation has rarely been described so far.
