An unusual case is described of infarction of the tongue as a presentation of cranial arteritis. The lingual necrosis may have been precipitated in part by the use of ergotamine to relieve the headache of the temporal arteritis, mistaken initially for migraine. The patient recovered with high-dose steroid therapy.
