[Bilateral blindness in temporal arteritis].
Two patients with mono-symptomatic unilateral loss of vision are presented. Both developed a bilateral loss of vision over a period of 2-3 weeks. No clinical suspicion of TA was raised on the basis of symptoms or signs, but a careful history and repeated blood tests might have given the correct diagnosis.
