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.
巨细胞颞动脉炎是眼科的一种急症，因为成功的治疗取决于在眼科症状出现之前进行早期诊断和有效治疗。作者对5例患者进行了长期研究。第一例患者的全身和眼部症状完全消退，视力得以保留。第二例患者入院时已有一只眼睛失明，尽管进行了强化治疗，但仍无法保住另一只眼睛的视力。第三例患者在临床康复后复发，但再次得到控制。在另一例年龄相对较小的患者中，成功阻止了疾病进展且未出现视力丧失。最后一例患者治疗后视力有所改善。
