Giant cell arteritis with multiple cranial nerve palsy and reversible proptosis: a case report

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) often presents with symptoms of headache, jaw claudication, polymyalgia rheumatica, and blurred vision. GCA is relatively rare and may have atypical manifestations in Asians, including multiple cranial nerve palsy and reversible proptosis. A high suspicion of GCA is suggested when any older Asian suffers from headache that is new-onset or different from the previous pattern, even without other typical manifestations of GCA.
