| Description |
"Blindness caused by giant cell arteritis (GCA) is usually severe. Some patients with GCA have an earlier diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), in which case they receive relatively low dose corticosteroids to alleviate discomfort.1 We hypothesized that GCA patients who were receiving corticosteroids prior to visual loss would have less severe visual loss than patients who had not received corticosteroids in advance." |
