Giant-cell arteritis with bilateral uveitic glaucoma.

J R Coppeto, M L Monteiro, R Sciarra

    Annals of Ophthalmology
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Giant-cell arteritis can cause bilateral uveitic glaucoma through an immunologic mechanism, not ischemia. This finding is crucial for understanding and treating this rare complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Giant-cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis primarily affecting large and medium-sized arteries.
    • Ocular manifestations of GCA can include ischemic optic neuropathy, but uveitic glaucoma is less common.
    • The pathogenesis of ocular complications in GCA is not fully understood, with both ischemic and inflammatory mechanisms proposed.
