Abstrakt: Researchers at the University of Washington conducted a study on Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) and its association with Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (AION), which can lead to blindness. The study compared GCA patients with and without AION, finding that older men with GCA and more than three halos on vascular ultrasound imaging may be at higher risk of AION. This research provides valuable insights into the characteristics associated with AION in GCA patients, highlighting the importance of early detection and monitoring. [Extracted from the article]
