{"title":"Unilateral proptosis resulting from giant-cell arteritis.","authors":"B D Looney","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Giant-cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic, inflammatory vasculopathy that affects small- to medium-sized arteries. Arterial wall inflammation results in reduction of blood flow and subsequent ischemia. Arteries of the head and neck are particularly susceptible, including the ophthalmic and posterior ciliary arteries. The eye care provider is in a position to assist with the ultimate diagnosis of GCA.</p><p><strong>Case report: </strong>A 79-year-old black man was referred to the eye clinic for evaluation of exophthalmos of the left eye. The patient reported increasing proptosis over the previous 6 months; a history of sudden, permanent vision loss of the affected eye (approximately 2 years earlier); and generalized malaise and chronic frontal headache. Examination did reveal an exophthalmic eye of approximately 8-mm difference by Hertel exophthalmometry. Fundus examination revealed optic nerve pallor O.S. CT scan revealed chronic inflammatory changes of orbital tissue, including the extraocular muscles. No compressive lesions were present. Laboratory testing indicated an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. A tentative diagnosis of giant-cell arteritis was made, which was confirmed with temporal artery biopsy.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Patients with ocular complications secondary to GCA manifest several different ocular symptoms, including unilateral and bilateral intermittent blur, sudden complete vision loss, double vision, etc. This was an unusual case of GCA because the initially manifested ocular sign was unilateral proptosis. The patient probably had initial ocular complications of GCA 2 years previously, with sudden loss of vision in the left eye. The patient never sought medical attention at that time, and the unilateral exophthalmic eye resulted from chronic inflammatory orbital changes associated with GCA.</p>","PeriodicalId":17208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Optometric Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21349533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey inquired about the type of nursing facility, their location, and types of medical care and eye care provided at their institution.

However, only 21% of nursing facilities have any type of regular schedule for provision of these services. Approximately 40% of the nursing homes without eye care services were interested in adding those services within a year, while half of those were not interested in adding them for their patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Eye care services are available for many Missouri nursing home patients, but there is a lack of understanding as to how those services can be used.
