Thromboangiitis Obliterans Associated With Idiopathic Hypereosinophilia

Temporal arteritis with systemic vasculitis

“…There have been some cases of temporal arteritis coexisting with another systemic vasculitis, such as allergic granulomatosis with non‐giant cell eosinophilic temporal arteritis, 6 and giant cell temporal arteritis coexisting with polyarteritis nodosa, 7 Wegener's granulomatosis and allergic granulomatosis 7 . There have been described some cases of temporal arteritis with hypereosinophilia similar to this case: temporal arteritis with subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia and hypereosinophilia, 8 eosinophilic temporal arteritis in juvenile patients characterized by non‐giant cell granulomatous inflammation with eosinophilic thromboangiitis obliterans and hypereosinophilia, 9 and juvenile temporal arteritis without clinical signs, with hypereosinophilia and a high level of IgE 10 …”

“Idiopathic Eosinophilic Vasculitis”: Another Side of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome? A Comprehensive Analysis of 117 Cases in Asthma-Free Patients

“…Thirteen cases presented temporal arteritis. The reported symptoms were headaches and/or painful temporal swelling (n=5) (16,19,26,63,87), transient loss of vision (n=2) (19,26), pain-free temporal swelling (n=2) (18,25,27,45,59), and scalp tenderness and jaw claudication (n=2) (31,89).…”

Thromboangiitis obliterans associated with peripheral blood and eosinophilic cellulitis‐like skin lesions

“…These reports, as well as that presented here, suggest that there is an unusual variant of TAO in which eosinophils play a major part. It is likely that this rare variant preferentially affects the temporal arteries, 1–3 although our patient did not have temporal arteritis.…”

“…The relation between TAO and eosinophilia has not been well established, although some authors have reported TAO with eosinophilia mainly affecting temporal arteries 1,2 . Recently, Fujimoto et al .…”
