A 73-year-old woman with 2 weeks of progressive painless vision loss was found to have bilateral corneal edema, jaw claudication, and temporal headache. Multimodal imaging revealed an Amalric choroidal infarct in the left eye visualized by widefield indocyanine green angiography and swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). Prompt intravenous corticosteroid treatment resulted in 20/20 vision, and
giant cell arteritis
(
GCA
) was confirmed by a temporal artery biopsy. The case underscores the use of widefield SS-
OCTA
as a non-invasive test to aid in the diagnosis of
GCA
, as well as bilateral cornea edema as a rare presentation of
GCA
. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:e157-e160.].
