Popis: | To report the occurrence of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) in giant cell arteritis (GCA), describe its features and outcomes, and identify risk factors associated with PAMM in patients with GCA.Review of medical records of patients with GCA who were examined in the Rothschild Foundation Hospital. Patients were divided into three groups: GCA with PAMM (Group 1), GCA with ophthalmic involvement but without PAMM (Group 2), and GCA without ophthalmic involvement (Group 3). We analyzed the data for age, sex, medical history, laboratory testing, visual acuity, and posterior segment vascular involvement.Among the 96 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 52 had ophthalmic involvement, and 16 patients were included in Group 1 (GCA with PAMM). In this subgroup, the mean age was 81.6 years and was found to be older than other groups. The visual prognosis was similar between Groups 1 and 2. Of the 20 eyes with PAMM, 35% were also associated with homolateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. No statistical difference was found in initial symptoms, signs, and laboratory testing.Paracentral acute middle maculopathy is frequently observed lesions in ocular GCA. Patients can present with isolated findings of PAMM as the only indication of GCA. Optical coherence tomography of the macula should be routinely performed in patients with suspected GCA, specifically if they complain of visual changes, to look for signs of ischemia in the middle layers of the retina. Isolated PAMM should raise suspicion for GCA in patients at risk. |
