A member asked:
Is it possible for a teenager to have arteritis at such a young age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly: Juvenile temporal arteritis: a rare form of localized blood vessel inflammation that affects older children and young adults. The condition is harmless and any nodules that develop can be removed and do not reappear. The nodules develop in blood vessels in the temples.
