    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Giant cell arteritis, including temporal arteritis, is a systemic vasculitis affecting medium and large arteries.
    • It commonly affects individuals over 50 years old and can lead to serious complications if not diagnosed promptly.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with non-specific symptoms including headache, scalp tenderness, and malaise.
    • Initial management focused on hypertension, but the patient subsequently experienced unilateral vision loss.

    Findings:

    • The patient suffered recurrent episodes of transient vision loss in the second eye.
    • Diagnosis of temporal arteritis was confirmed, and appropriate treatment was initiated, leading to successful management of visual episodes.

    Implications:
