Abstract

An 84-year-old man presented with anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy with unusual histopathological findings for giant cell arteritis on temporal artery biopsy. Further systemic manifestations occurred three months later with lung nodules, renal dysfunction and sinusitis. A probable diagnosis of polyangiitis overlap syndrome was made and he was treated with steroids and an immunomodulator. © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
