Abstract
• Two patients had truncal ataxia, upbeat nystagmus, and upgaze palsy. Initially, a paraneoplastic disorder was suspected, but a temporal artery biopsy revealed giant cell arteritis (GCA). This unusual clinical manifestation of GCA probably resulted from thromboembolic complications of vertebral arteritis.
