Acta Ophthalmologica, 1983
Forty‐four unselected patients with amaurosis fugax (AF) have been followed for 4.6 years (mean 2.6). Thirty per cent had atheromatous lesions, 20% had miscellaneous diagnoses (temporal arteritis 5, transitory ocular hypertension 2, glaucomatous iritis 1, benign intracraniel hypertension 1), 50% consisted of young, mainly women, in whom no cause was ...

Amaurosis fugax at downward gaze
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1987A 54-year-old man with a past history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and two myocardial infarctions presented with repeated attacks of amaurosis fugax in the right eye. The fact that the amaurosis occurred only on downward gaze is sufficient evidence to exclude carotid atheromatous disease and to imply an orbital etiology.

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.

Amaurosis Fugax: Associations with Heritable Thrombophilia
Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2005 The aim of this study was to prospectively assess associations between amaurosis fugax, inherited thrombophilia, and acquired thrombophilia. Thrombophilia and hypofibrinolysis were studied in 11 cases (eight women, three men; all white) with amaurosis ...

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2007 Nineteen patients (age 60 +/- 14) with amaurosis fugax associated with heritable thrombophilia-hypofibrinolysis without ipsilateral atherosclerotic carotid plaque or other causes of amaurosis fugax were studied.

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 ...

Oftalmologia (Bucharest, Romania : 1990), 2009
Amaurosis fugax is the subjective phenomenon caused by a transient and temporary ceasing of the retinal blood flow. Wray classified amaurosis fugax in four types, according to the mechanisms involved: embolic, hypoperfusion, angiospasm and idiopathic. Amaurosis fugax is an important symptom because it can announce the definite visual loss, an cerebral ...

Rivista di neurologia, 1981
A follow up study has been performed in thirteen patients suffering from (amaurosis fugax) (A.F.). From the case material analysis and from the review of the current literature it has been possible to infer that the current pathogenetic hypotheses (cerebral and/or retinal microembolism) of the amaurosis fugax and of the transient ischemic cerebral ...

Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1991
Forty-six consecutive patients aged between 24 and 72 years (mean 54.7 years) are described, who suffered one or more episodes of unilateral amaurosis fugax. In addition to ocular symptoms 23 patients experienced ischemic episodes involving the ipsilateral cerebral hemisphere. All cases underwent a standardized diagnostic protocol encompassing detailed
