Abstract
This report describes a 16-yr-old patient with coexistant Crohn's disease and giant cell arteritis. The unusual features of the case include presence of giant cell arteritis of temporal arteritis type in the bowel wall, the young age of the patient, and the previously unreported association of these two pathologic processes.
