Abstract

An 82-year-old man died four days after the diagnosis of bilateral temporal arteritis had been made and treatment with high doses of corticosteroids had been started. Histopathological examination of the eyes revealed granulomatous inflammation of almost all the posterior ciliary arteries, characteristic of temporal arteritis.
