Bilateral Macular Choroidal Infarction as a Manifestation of Giant Cell Arteritis
Abstract:
The authors present an unusual case of bilateral macular choroidal infarction as a manifestation of giant cell arteritis (GCA). Due to sequential bilateral presentation, multimodal imaging with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography allows for simultaneous evaluation of progressive stages of outer retinal damage caused by choroidal hypoperfusion seen on fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography. This case report demonstrates that GCA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of placoid maculopathies. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:540-543.].
