[Delays in the management of ocular complications of giant cell arteritis: A retrospective monocentric study of 33 patients].

CONCLUSION: There is a significant delay in the appropriate management of ophthalmological complications of ACG and deviations from current recommendations. Numerous actions must therefore be taken to improve the visual prognosis of patients with ACG, both preventively (i.e. early diagnosis and treatment of ACG before the possible occurrence of visual complications), and curatively (rapid recognition and immediate treatment of ocular complications). These elements support the relevance of specific fast-track pathways for GCA. PMID: 32682624 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
