Headache at both temples and jaw claudication had been present for 3 weeks. Laboratory values demonstrated an initially increased C-reactive protein (CRP) of 202.0\u2009mg\/L and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of 100\u2009mm within the first 20 minutes. Duplex sonography of the right and left temporal arteries revealed a \u201chalo sign.\u201d A case of GCA was suspected, and intravenous high-dose methylprednisolone therapy was immediately administered. The clinical examination revealed a bilateral central retinal artery occlusion and fluorescein angiography showed a hot optic disc in the right eye and patchy choroidal hypoperfusion in both eyes. Biopsy of the left temporal artery was performed, which confirmed a florid temporal arteritis with complete thrombotic occlusion of the vascular lumen. Despite a good response to the administered\n\t\t\t\t\ttherapy (CRP 17.0\u2009mg\/L 1 week after initiation), the visual prognosis was significantly limited through retinal and optic nerve involvement. By the follow-up examination 8 weeks later, the near visual acuity was 20\/400 in the right and left eye at a distance of 16 inches.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion and Importance We hereby present a simultaneous bilateral ophthalmic artery occlusion as a rare complication of GCA. The combination of central retinal artery occlusion, arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, and choroidal hypoperfusion suggests an acute inflammatory involvement of the ophthalmic artery. In cases of the slightest suspicion of giant cell arteritis, an immediate high-dose steroid therapy initiation is of utmost importance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1554-5182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,11]],"date-time":"2021-08-11T22:39:27Z","timestamp":1628721567000},"page":"1369-1373","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Simultaneous
