Abstract
Giant cell arteritis, otherwise known as temporal arteritis or cranial arteritis is a common cause of vasculitis among older adults. We report a case of Giant Cell Arteritis in an elderly female patient who presented with a recent onset unilateral headache and symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica. Prompt diagnosis and comprehensive workup can help an alert physician to clinch the diagnosis and be instrumental in early treatment and thereby prevent permanent blindness.
