Giant Cell Arteritis With Unusual Flow-Related Neuroophthalmologic Manifestations
Neurol 49:1463-1465, Galetta,S.L.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report two patients with giant cell arteritis and unusual neuroophthalmic findings.One patient developed a horizontal one and a half syndrome associated with upright posture.The responsible lesion was dorsal pontine infarction.The other patient had bright light-induced amaurosis fugax in the absence of extracranial carotid occlusive disease.Both patients continued to have symptoms despite the use of high-dose intravenous corticosteroids.The manifestations of both patients occurred early in the course of giant cell arteritis and were flow related.
