Abstract Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an important diagnostic consideration in elderly patients with vision changes. Superficial temporal artery biopsy (TAB) has long been considered the gold standard diagnostic approach for GCA, but MRI has gained interest as an alternative diagnostic modality. Although most of the literature has focused on imaging abnormalities of branches of the external carotid artery, there have been a few reports of GCA-related inflammatory involvement of the orbit and internal carotid arteries (ICAs) on MRI.
