Abstract

Dev hücreli arterit, 50 yaş üstünde görülen ciddi görme kaybına yol açan bir vaskulit tablosudur. Hastalık tutulan damarlara bağlı olarak değişik biçimlerde karşımıza çıkabilir. Özellikle bu olguda izlediğimiz gibi koroidal dolaşım bozukluğu olan vakalarda hastanın sistemik bulgularının dikkatli bir biçimde değerlendirilmesi, tanının biyopsi ile desteklenmesi ve bunlara ek olarak acil tedavi başlanması gerekmektedir.
