| Description |
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) involves the ocular circulation in up to 70% of cases. Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) classically causes optic nerve head edema with waxy pallor. Nonarteritic AION (NAION) commonly presents with better central visual acuity and diffuse or segmental disc hyperemia and edema. It is important to distinguish NAION from AAION, as AAION requires immediate treatment to minimize risk to the fellow eye. We describe two cases of biopsy-confirmed GCA presenting with preserved visual acuity and segmental disc edema without pallor. |
