Temporalarteritt: Prognosen
Langtidsutsiktene er gode dersom tilstanden behandles. Blindhet er en komplikasjon til AT, men synsproblemer kan i de fleste tilfeller unngås ved tidlig igangsatt behandling.
Behandlingen er langvarig. De fleste behøver kortisonbehandling minimum et helt år. Noen får tilbakefall etter at medisinen avsluttes og må starte på ny med behandling enda et år. Enkelte vil trenge behandling kanskje opptil fem år med lave doser kortison.
Både ved PMR og AT er det viktig å kontakte lege straks ved hodepine, synsproblemer eller andre tegn til temporalarteritt. Betennelse i tinningpulsåren kan unntaksvis oppstå selv om kortisonpreparater brukes.
