Overview

Patients with temporal arteritis usually appear in pain or normal. The presence of temporal tenderness on physical examination is highly suggestive of temporal arteritis. Ophthalmoscopic exam may be abnormal with findings of sludging of blood in retinal arterioles, optic disc may show chalky white pallor and edema, with or without splinter hemorrhages, posterior ischemic (retrobulbar) optic neuropathy, central retinal artery occlusion, branch of retinal artery occlusion, and choroidal ischemia. Tenderness upon palpation of the temporal region including erythema, nodularity, and thickening on affected side. Other findings include facial tenderness, diplopia, ptosis, nystagmus, internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO), and pupillary abnormalities.
