title: [Involvement of the organ of vision in Horton's disease].
abstract: The paper deals with the diagnosis of optic nerve atrophy caused by temporal giant-cell arteritis (Horton's disease) and shows how difficult to make a differential diagnosis between glaucoma and other non-eye diseases that also induce optic nerve atrophy. It describes a clinical case that illustrates the difficulties in diagnosing optic nerve involvement in Horton's disease.
