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.LA: Russian
