She also had a 6-week history of intermittent dizziness, reduced appetite, lethargy, muscle stiffness and weight loss. Examination revealed left temporal artery and left posterior auricular artery tenderness. Her ESR showed 62 mm/hr and imaging showed left vertebral artery dissection. Temporal artery biopsy was positive.The case highlights a rare presentation of giant cell arteritis with Horner's syndrome and left vertebral artery dissection. High clinical suspicion is required to prevent delay in diagnosis and treatment. ER -
