Infectious myositis in children is typically linked to influenza viruses and involves the lower limb muscles. We report the first pediatric case of bilateral temporal myositis associated with adenovirus infection in a 3-year-old child. Diagnosis was supported by ultrasound evidence of temporalis muscle inflammation. Symptoms resolved with supportive care, and 1-month follow-up confirmed full recovery without recurrence or complications.

Abstract
Infectious myositis in children is typically linked to influenza viruses and involves the lower limb muscles. We report the first pediatric case of bilateral temporal myositis associated with adenovirus infection in a 3-year-old child. Diagnosis was supported by ultrasound evidence of temporalis muscle inflammation. Symptoms resolved with supportive care, and 1-month follow-up confirmed full recovery without recurrence or complications.
