Background Giant cell arteritis is a vasculitis of large and middle-sized arteries that affects
patients aged over 50 years. It can show a typical clinical picture consisting of cranial …

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Vision is often threatened or lost by acute ischemic damage to the
optic nerves. Such pathology most often affects the anterior portion of the nerve and is …

Neuroretinal rim thinning (NRR) is a characteristic glaucomatous optic disc change.
However, the precise mechanism of the rim thinning has not been completely elucidated …

This study assessed diffusion abnormalities of the optic nerve (ON) in giant cell arteritis
(GCA) patients with acute onset of visual impairment (VI) using diffusion-weighted magnetic …

Background Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is the most common cause of acute
optic neuropathy in older patients. Distinguishing between arteritic AION (A-AION) and …

In this article we focus on a systematic approach to assess common orbital lesions on
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The identification of the probable compartment or …

Objective To determine the sensitivity and specificity of high-resolution (HR) MRI for
detecting signal abnormalities of cranial nerves (CN) in giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients …

Objectives This study was designed to evaluate the performance of high-resolution magnetic
resonance imaging (HR-MRI) in detecting giant cell arteritis (GCA), evaluate superficial …

Objectives To assess the impact of timing from visual symptoms' onset to diffusion-weighted
(DW) 3 T MRI completion to detect ischemic changes of the optic disc and optic nerve in …

Abstract Background/Aims To identify characteristics that can distinguish AAION from
NAAION in emergency practice. Methods This is a multicentre retrospective case-control …
