What is another word for temporal arteritis?
Pronunciation: [tˈɛmpəɹə͡l ˌɑːtəɹˈa͡ɪtɪs] (IPA) 
Temporal arteritis is a condition of the arteries characterized by inflammation that can lead to severe headaches and even vision loss. There are alternative names for this condition including giant cell arteritis, cranial arteritis, and Horton's disease. Although these terms are less commonly used than temporal arteritis, they still accurately describe the nature of the disease. The clinical presentation of giant cell arteritis involves inflammation of the blood vessels that can become blocked, leading to vision disruption and neuralgia; cranial arteritis refers to the location of inflammation, specifically the head and neck region. These terms can be used interchangeably and help to distinguish this condition from other forms of arteritis.
