520			_aABSTRACT Giant Cell Arteritis is a rare autoimmune disease characterized as systemic vasculitis involving the medium and large sized vessels. It commonly presents as a unilateral temporal headache, jaw claudication, unilateral monocular visual loss and nonspecific systemic manifestations. Gian Cell Arteritis is typically seen in ages 50 to 70 years and above., with high incidence rates in Scandinavians and Northern Europeans and predisposition to the female gender. In this report, we describe a 49 year old Filipino women who initially presented with transient unilateral vision loss and intermittent severe unilateral headaches. Upon consultation, she was suspected of Giant Cell Arteritis and was referred to Ophthalmologist, Rheumatologist and Neurologist, where further work up supported the diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis. Understanding the symptoms and manifestation of Giant Cell Arteritis is important for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent more severe complication, especially permanent vision loss.
