Purpose
: To describe a case of p-ANCA associated vasculitis in a patient with bilateral vision loss with no systemic symptoms or signs
Methods
: A descriptive review of a case
Results
: We report a case of bilateral sequential vision loss in a 73-year-old woman who had no constitutional symptoms except
headache
and was found to have positive p-ANCA and lymphocytic infiltration on bilateral temporal artery biopsy. Despite the early administration of systemic corticosteroids, the visual outcome was unfavorable.
Conclusion
: It is important to consider ANCA associated vasculitides when temporal artery biopsy does not support
GCA
