    Abstract:
    Giant-cell temporal arteritis is an urgent condition in ophthalmology as successful treatment depends on early diagnosis and effective therapy before the development of ophthalmological symptoms. The authors investigated on a long-term basis five patients. In the first one complete regression of general and ocular symptoms occurred and vision was preserved. The second patient was admitted already with loss of vision of one eye and despite intensive treatment it did not prove possible to save vision of the second eye. The third patient developed, after clinical recovery, a relapse which was again brought under control. In another patient of relatively younger age it proved possible to arrest the progress of the disease without loss of vision. In the last patient visual acuity improved after treatment.
