CASE RECORDS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL: Case 18-2008 -- A 68-Year-Old Man - 11-06-2008, 03:41 PM

A 68-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of headache and loss of vision in the right eye, 3 1/2 months after orthotopic liver transplantation. Four weeks after transplantation, headaches and jaw claudication developed, followed by blurred vision in the right eye. Two weeks before admission, an ophthalmologist began therapy with prednisone; symptoms improved and then worsened 2 days before admission. On admission, additional diagnostic studies were performed.
