The symptoms of Cranial Arthritis also known as temporal arthritis can often be very similar to chronic migraine's. But, the only sure way to check if you have temporal arteries is to take a segment of the temporal artery and remove it for study(biopsy). sometimes more than one study has to be done to confirm. this is the only accurate way it can be diagnosed..
