Abstract

We have described a case of sudden blindness of the right eye in an 81-year-old white woman with a one-month history of increasingly severe jaw claudication and a normal Westergren sedimentation rate. Isolated jaw claudication in the elderly is of diagnostic importance, and the need for temporal artery biopsy and rapid institution of high-dose steroid therapy to prevent blindness is emphasized.

摘要

我们描述了一例81岁白人女性右眼突然失明的病例，该患者有1个月来进行性加重的颌部间歇性运动障碍病史，且魏氏血沉率正常。老年人孤立性颌部间歇性运动障碍具有诊断意义，强调了进行颞动脉活检以及迅速开始大剂量类固醇治疗以预防失明的必要性。
