Why is loss of eyesight not listed among the symptoms or consequences?
- bell-cot 3y agoBecause Wikipedia is a so-so source of medical information? Damaged to eyesight is the first bullet point here... > https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15674-temporal-arteritis https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15674-tempora... ...and the last bullet point here... https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/giant-cell-arteritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20372758 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/giant-cell-ar... ...and the first "if left untreated can cause" thing mentioned here... https://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/arteritis-giant-cell https://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/arteritis-giant-cell ...and you probably noticed that all 3 of those prefer to call it "giant cell arteritis".
