Characteristics and outcomes of patients with ophthalmologic involvement in giant-cell arteritis: A case-control study.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To describe the characteristics and outcome of patients with giant-cell arteritis (GCA)-related ophthalmologic involvement at diagnosis. METHODS:In a retrospective single-center cohort of 409 consecutive patients with GCA, we retrieved 104 patients with visual symptoms at GCA diagnosis and we compared them to 104 age- and sex-matched controls without ophthalmologic involvement. Each visual symptom was associated to an ophthalmologic diagnosis that was centrally re-assessed by an ophthalmologist. RESULTS:Compared to controls, patients with visual symptoms showed less fever (p = 0.0006), less polymyalgia rheumatica (p = 0.02) and lower acute phase reactants (p = 0.004). Blurred vision (in 60% of patients), amaurosis fugax (in 18%), diplopia (in 13%) and permanent visual loss (in 9%) were the four visual symptoms described by patients before GCA diagnosis. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) was found in 47 (45%) patients, followed by central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 15 (15%). Two patients had both involvements. The delay of glucocorticoids initiation was not different between patients with and without visual symptoms (p = 0.06). Among the 60 patients with initial AION and/or CRAO, 39 (65%) kept definite blindness or important visual damage, although 45 (75%) had received intravenous (IV) pulses of methylprednisolone. A new ischemic event (AION in all cases) occurred in 4% of patients with visual symptoms despite the initiation of treatment. CONCLUSION:Ophthalmologic involvement was observed in one-quarter of our GCA patients. AION is still associated with the worst visual prognosis, and IV methylprednisolone pulses did not reduce the risk of blindness in our study.
