| Abstract |
We present a 63-year-old lady who had atrial myxoma. The diagnostic difficulties distinguishing this from giant cell arteritis are highlighted. In particular, both conditions caused choroidal and retinal infarcts, anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy, with raised acute phase reactants. The authors stress the importance of continued ophthalmoscopy as the fundal changes become more apparent. |
