Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2016
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an immune-mediated large-vessel vasculitis with a complex etiology in which a cross talk between environmental and genetic factors may affect its susceptibility and phenotypic expression. During the last decades, a large number of candidate gene studies explored the genetic component of GCA.

Giant cell arteritis

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004
Patients with a suspected diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) should be started on high-dose corticosteroid therapy without delay. A temporal artery biopsy should be performed after initiation of therapy to confirm the diagnosis. Patients with acute visual or neurologic symptoms present a neuro-ophthalmic emergency.

Giant cell arteritis

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2007
Giant cell arteritis is an important cause of blindness in patients over 60 years of age. We attempt to identify the important clinical aspects in the diagnosis and management of this disorder, so that treatment may be instituted expeditiously to limit visual loss.In addition, we identify current areas of standards in the investigation and treatment of
