A 77-year-old man developed headaches, jaw claudication and diplopia. Giant cell arteritis was suspected [1] . CT angiography of the extracranial arteries showed focal areas of luminal narrowing and mural thickening consistent with inflammatory ‘skip lesions’ along the right superficial temporal artery ( fig. 1 ). The diagnosis was confirmed with biopsy. Received: December 8, 2008 Accepted after revision: December 15, 2008 Published online: March 31, 2009
