    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 2001 Oct; 24(8):860-4. PubMed ID: 11894539.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 71-year-old man with sequential visual loss within 3 days due to giant cell arteritis confirmed by a temporal artery biopsy. The anterior ischemic optic neuropathy was associated with cilioretinal artery occlusion on the right eye. He improved after intravenous corticosteroid therapy. Clinical characteristics and treatment are discussed.
