Optic nerve sheath enhancement on orbital MRI in giant cell arteritis
Patients with ocular GCA are more likely to have ONS enhancement on MRI compared with NA-AION. ONS enhancement was observed in (i) A-AION and other forms of ocular ischaemia, demonstrating the potential value of MRI in multiple orbital pathologies in GCA, and (ii) both the affected and unaffected eye, suggesting MRI may detect early subclinical ocular disease in GCA. These results highlight the potential value of adding orbital MRI to the diagnostic workup of ocular GCA.
