  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 71-year-old male visited us a few hours after headache with acute visual loss in his right eye. Funduscopy showed paleness and swelling of the disc in the affected eye. Visual acuity was finger counting. The findings were compatible with acute ischemic optic neuropathy. Biopsy of the superficialtemporal artery showed arteritis with giant cell infiltration and led to the diagnosis of temporal arteritis. He was put under treatment with systemic prednisolone, 80 mg per day, from the first day of ocular involvement. The visual acuity improved in 3 weeks. Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment seemed to have contributed to the improvement.
