An otherwise asymptomatic 67-year-old man presented to his ophthalmologist complaining of acute painless “dark area on the right.” Visual acuity was preserved, and a single cotton-wool spot was noted in each retina. An inferior right quadrantanopia was evident on automated visual fields, and computerized tomography of the brain confirmed a left occipital stroke. Acute phase markers were elevated, and temporal artery biopsy was consistent with a diagnosis of giant cell arteritis. Isolated retinal cotton wool spots, even in the absence of systemic signs and symptoms, may be suggestive of giant cell arteritis.
期刊介绍:
Survey of Ophthalmology is a clinically oriented review journal designed to keep ophthalmologists up to date. Comprehensive major review articles, written by experts and stringently refereed, integrate the literature on subjects selected for their clinical importance. Survey also includes feature articles, section reviews, book reviews, and abstracts.
