Case description

What is another name for temporal arteritis? What is the proper name of this artery? Superficial or deep temporal? Is it easy to biopsy because of its size, location, and abundant collaterals? Find some giant cells. Do you think this patient's erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) might have been very elevated?
