“…Fifteen patients were studied. The age and prevalence of vascular risk factors and vascular disease was similar to that in other studies (Bots et al 1997;Knabben et al 1996). All patients gave a good history of amaurosis fugax, characterised by the sudden onset of a relative or absolute scotoma affecting the entire or altitudinal field of one eye and with complete recovery (Amaurosis Fugax Study Group 1990).…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the causes of recurrent amaurosis fugax in patients without haemodynamically significant carotid stenosis. Methods: Pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF), ocular pulse amplitude (PA) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) were recorded for 15 patients and 15 agematched controls. Results: No significant difference in OPP or POBF was found between the two groups. However, the PA was significantly greater in the control group (pΩ0.01). Conclusion:The results of this study suggest that for some patients with recurrent amaurosis fugax, their symptoms may occur secondary to ocular small vessel disease.

In amaurosis fugax, there is a sudden loss of vision in one eye. Patients gain their vision after a few minutes. The most common underlying cause is atherosclerosis of the internal carotid artery. Other underlying causes include vasospasm of the internal carotid artery, which leads to hypoperfusion and is seen in vasculitis, ocular migraines, and systemic lupus erythematosus. In this case study, a 44-year-old male with a past medical history of migraine with aura presented to the emergency room with transient vision loss in the left eye, which lasted for two minutes. A computed tomography scan of the brain was negative for stroke. The patient was treated with intravenous fluid, aspirin, and enoxaparin sodium and instructed to follow up with neurology. A medical emergency such as amaurosis fugax caused by ocular migraine must be managed aggressively, and prompt imaging is necessary to exclude other causes.

Abstract: The ophthalmologic examination especially the fluorescein angiography revealed no pathologic findings in patients with amaurosis fugax. The risk factor distribution corresponded to data found in patients with retinal artery occlusion.
