An atypical presentation of giant cell arteritis: Fatigable signs to anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and choroidal infarction.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a vision-threatening, ophthalmic emergency that classically presents with new-onset headaches, scalp tenderness, systemic symptoms, visual disturbances, and elevated inflammatory markers. We describe an atypical presentation of GCA in an 87-year-old patient with fatigable ptosis and diplopia, with subsequent anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and choroidal infarction.
