A rare case of Horton's disease without inflammatory syndrome in the Department of Neurology of the Teaching Hospital of Point G, Bamako, Mali].

Horton's disease is the most common inflammatory disease of the vessels after the age of 50 years. We report here the caseof a 64-year-old male, who presented a chronic frontal headache resistant to usual analgesics. Physical examination found pain on bitemporal pressure, a slight induration of temporal arteries and a bilateral decreased temporal pulse. Biological inflammatory testing was normal. However, Doppler ultrasound revealed bilateral intimal infiltration of the temporal artery, supporting the diagnosis of Horton's disease. Put on corticoids, headaches were completely resolved. Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation. En outre il leur conseille de conserver un exemplaire du manuscrit, des figures et des tableaux.
