Hypothesis: Vasoconstriction Contributes to Amaurosis Fugax
Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 1989 Platelets play a critical role in the pathophysiology of amaurosis fugax. Emboli to retinal vessels apparently produce amaurosis but, in addition, we propose that augmented vasoconstrictor responses and vasospasm may contribute to amaurosis.

Gaze-evoked amaurosis is a transient monocular loss of vision occurring in a particular direction of eccentric gaze. Six cases are reported with a mean follow-up of 5 years; three with optic nerve sheath meningiomas and three with orbital cavernous hemangiomas. Five of the six patients have had no visual deterioration during follow-up.

Blindness is a rare but dramatic complication of pregnancy and delivery. We present the case of a patient who developed toxemia at the time of delivery that with ineffective treatment resulted in cortical blindness without seizure activity. The pathogenesis as well as the diagnostic workup and treatment of this unusual complication are discussed.

Summary: An interesting patient with convulsions and amaurosis is reported in whom hypertension, but not proteinuria was present. The aetiology and treatment of amaurosis in pregnancy is presented. It is suggested that the following is the most efficacious treatment of amaurosis due to arterial spasm: Amyl nitrite inhalation.

AMAUROSIS FUGAX ET AMAUROSIS FULMINANS
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1951AMAUROSIS FUGAX IF ONE were to look up the word "blackout" in the Oxford Dictionary, one would not find it there. This word, which so aptly describes "amaurosis fugax," and with which we have become familiar during the two wars, is a newcomer. "Blacking out," which later became "blackout," was a term introduced to describe a form of temporary ...

An early stage of Leber's congenital amaurosis, characterized by white spots or lines in the fundus, occurred in two children. Light microscopic examination of eyes obtained from one child, a 16-month-old Japanese girl, revealed subretinal deposits corresponding to the white spots and lines in the fundus deposits.
