Abstract
We present the case of an 87-year-old female with a one-week history of redness, swelling, and pain in the left eye, accompanied by headache and neck pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated extreme enlargement of the supraorbital artery, engaging the superior rectus muscle of the left eye. We could not find similar articles in well-recognized scientific networks. Conservative treatment was conducted, with no improvement. The patient refused surgery.
