    Temporal arteritis can cause ischemic eye lesions, including inner retinal and optic nerve head infarction, presenting as white swelling. This condition highlights the impact of interrupted axoplasmic transport on vision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Temporal arteritis (Giant Cell Arteritis) is a systemic vasculitis affecting medium and large arteries.
    • Ocular involvement in temporal arteritis can lead to severe visual impairment or blindness.

    Observation:

    • A patient with temporal arteritis presented with multiple ischemic lesions in the eyes.
    • Initial examination revealed white swelling in the retinal nerve fiber layer, indicative of inner retinal and optic nerve head infarction.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the role of interrupted axoplasmic transport in the pathogenesis of the observed retinal nerve fiber layer swelling.
    • Outer retinal infarction was also identified, which later evolved into distinct pigmented scars.

    Implications:

    • Understanding these ischemic patterns is crucial for early diagnosis and management of ocular complications in temporal arteritis.
    • The findings underscore the severe visual consequences of untreated temporal arteritis and the importance of prompt treatment to prevent vision loss.
