Abstract Purpose:To report ischemic optic neuropathy in a case of giant cell arteritis.

Case:An 85-year-old female presented with impaired vision in the right eye since two months before. She had noted pain in the jaws while chewing at about the same period.

Findings and Clinical Course:Best-corrected visual acuity was hand motion right and 0.2 left. Both eyes showed pale optic disc without cupping. Blood studies showed elevated sedimentation rate. She was treated by one session of pulsed steroid therapy. Biopsy of superficial temporal artery showed findings of giant cell arteritis. Her visual acuity remained at 0.3 left until decease 87 days after her initial visit.

Conclusion:Pulsed steroid therapy was effective in maintaining vision in one eye in the present case of ischemic optic neuropathy probably secondary to giant cell arteritis.
