Arteritic

We can fairly reconcile this apparent lapse by observing, that M. Nelaton confounds the arteritic form of the affection with that supervening on ossified arteries; a circumstance first noticed by Cowper, the anatomist, but denied gravely by Pott, an author who is frequently quoted as countenancing the idea.

These arteritic lesions are not confined to the striated musculature, but occur everywhere, including the superior and inferior mesenteric arterial beds.

Arteritic and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy both manifest as sudden visual loss associated with optic disc edema.
