Abstract EN
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is rare in children.
The kidneys are generally spared.
We present a case of GCA in a 12-year-old girl with severe headache and tender scalp especially over the right temporal area.
The right superficial temporal artery was cord like and nodular and the pulsations were barely felt.
Several small tender nodular swellings were felt in the occipital area.
She had been previously diagnosed as a case of nephrotic syndrome due to underlying membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
This report is aimed at drawing attention to this rare form of vasculitis in children aiming at decreasing its morbidities.
