Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy occurs in the setting of giant cell arteritis and is a medical emergency, because there is a high risk of fellow eye involvement if corticosteroid treatment is not initiated in a timely fashion. In this chapter, we review the clinical features of arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. We also discuss the evaluation and treatment of patients with suspected giant cell arteritis.
