Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis affecting various organs. This review focuses on GCA

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Systemic Vasculitis

Background:

  • Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic inflammatory disease.
  • It primarily affects large and medium-sized arteries.
  • Ocular complications, including severe visual loss, are a major concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current understanding of Giant cell arteritis.
  • To specifically detail the ocular manifestations of GCA.
  • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent research on GCA.
  • Synthesis of information on clinical presentations.
  • Focus on diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies.
