Abstract
A 75‐year‐old man with the simultaneous onset of Graves' disease and giant cell arteritis is described. Although there have been few previous reports of simultaneous onset, literature review and a retrospective study of the records of this hospital suggest that the association of Graves' disease and the polymyalgia rheumatica‐giant cell arteritis syndrome is not simple coincidence. The patient's course was complicated by cerebral infarction secondary to either arterial thrombo‐embolism or arteritis.Keywords
