    The Horton's disease is a generalized vascular affectation, characterized by a giant cell arteritis. Medium and small caliber arteries are the most frequently affected, mainly of the craneal vascular territory, in particular the collateral branches of the external carotid, and artery in special the superficial temporal artery.
