| Differential Diagnosis | | Although there was high clinical suspicion for GCA, the differential diagnosis included infectious and paraneoplastic etiologies such as syphilis and lymphoma. Syphilis can have a variety of ocular manifestations including keratitis, papilledema, vasculitis, and chorioretinitis. Primary intraocular lymphoma can present as nonspecific uveitis with vitritis, less often as retinal vasculitis or vascular occlusion. Although less likely, other vasculitic diseases were considered including lupus and ANCA-associated vasculitis. | |
