Giant cell arteritis may lead to irreversible blindness due to an anterior ischemic optic neuropathy or central retinal artery occlusion. Diagnosis of the giant cell arteritis is sometimes a problem: Difficulties may arise since a negative biopsy can not rule out the diagnosis. This case report demonstrates acute changes in the temporal artery as demonstrated by Ultrasound Biomicroscopy and documents its course during therapy with corticosteroids.
巨细胞动脉炎可能因前部缺血性视神经病变或视网膜中央动脉阻塞导致不可逆的失明。巨细胞动脉炎的诊断有时是个问题：由于活检结果为阴性不能排除诊断，所以可能会出现困难。本病例报告展示了超声生物显微镜检查所显示的颞动脉急性变化，并记录了其在使用皮质类固醇治疗期间的病程。
