Description Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a vasculitis of medium- to large-sized artery which can interfere with arterial flow to the optic nerve head causing arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy(AION). Little data has been published regarding arteritic AION in Asians, including Thais probably due to its rarity.
