Amaurosis fugax associated with ophthalmic artery stenosis: clinical simulation of carotid artery disease.
A 72 year old woman complained of transient loss of vision in the left eye. She had undergone a left carotid endarterectomy 10 years previously. Reduced ophthalmic artery pressure was found on noninvasive carotid artery testing and cerebral angiography was performed. No lesion was evident in the carotid artery, but significant ophthalmic artery stenosis was identified. We report this case as sh...
متن کاملAmaurosis fugax associated with congenital vascular defect
A 68-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented with loss of vision in the lower half of her left eye that lasted <5 minutes. No abnormalities were found on ocular or physical exam. Computed tomography angiography and carotid ultrasound were performed, which confirmed the diagnosis as amaurosis fugax with two abnormalities leading to the transient retinal vessel occlusio...
متن کاملAmaurosis fugax caused by a dural arteriovenous fistula from the ophthalmic artery.
A 52-year-old man presented with transient monocular blindness that was both spontaneous and exacerbated by exertion. Dynamic orbital CT revealed a delay in the perfusion of the left optic nerve head suggestive of a steal phenomenon. Subsequent selective arteriography demonstrated an arteriovenous fistula between the falx artery originating from the ophthalmic artery and the superior sagittal v...
متن کاملAmaurosis fugax: risk factors and prevalence of significant carotid stenosis
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe clinical characteristics and prevalence of carotid stenosis in patients with amaurosis fugax (AF). METHOD Patients diagnosed with AF and subjected to carotid ultrasound in 2004-2010 in Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg (n=302), were included, and data were retrospectively collected from medical records. RESULTS The prevalence of si...
متن کاملAmaurosis fugax and carotid artery disease: indications for angiography.
A prospective study of 80 patients presenting with amaurosis fugax was performed in an attempt to relate clinical features to angiographic findings in the internal carotid artery. Carotid bruit, transient cerebral ischaemic attacks, hypertension, and claudication were associated with a high prevalence of angiographic abnormality. Every patient who showed all these features had an operable lesio...
