Transient monocular blindness in carotid occlusion testing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient developed monocular blindness 23 minutes into a temporary balloon occlusion test of the carotid artery, on the side being tested. His vision returned to normal 1 minute after the balloon was deflated. The authors emphasize the importance of complete frequent neurologic examination during this kind of test.

Carotid dissection and carotid occlusion with stroke: neuro-ophthalmological manifestations
We assessed the prevalence and characteristics of neuro-ophthalmological manifestations (NOMs) in patients with stroke due to internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. NOMs were evaluated in 81 patients with ICA dissection and 229 patients with ICA atherosclerotic occlusion from the Lausanne Stroke Registry. NOMs, seen in 57% of patients with ICA dissection consisted of visual field defect (32%), ...
متن کاملIschemic optic neuropathy associated with internal carotid artery dissection.
BACKGROUND Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is an infarction of the anterior or, less frequently, posterior part of the optic nerve, usually due to a disease of small arteries supplying the optic nerve. Carotid stenosis or occlusions are rare causes, and among them, carotid dissections have been so far reported in only 5 cases. METHODS We describe 4 patients with ION (2 anterior and 2 posterio...
متن کاملClinical features of transient monocular blindness and the likelihood of atherosclerotic lesions of the internal carotid artery.
To assess which features of transient monocular blindness (TMB) are associated with atherosclerotic changes in the ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA), 337 patients with sudden, transient monocular loss of vision were prospectively studied. History characteristics of the attack were compared with the presence of atherosclerotic lesions of the ipsilateral ICA. All patients were directly in...
متن کاملCOMMENTS, OPINIONS, AND REVIEWS Chronic Ocular Ischemia And Carotid Vascular Disease
Venous stasis retinopathy and ischemic oculopathy are ocular manifestations of ischemia in the distribution of the carotid artery. While not as common as transient monocular blindness or retinal arterial emboli, they are readily recognizable and indicate the presence of severe, often bilateral, carotid occlusive disease. Patterns of occlusion vary but usually include complete occlusion of at le...

Symptoms of carotid artery disease frequently present to ophthalmologists. Though these may be sight threatening, they may represent the first signs of life threatening carotid artery stenosis. These include cerebral transient ischaemic attacks (TIA), transient monocular blindness (amaurosis fugax), central or branch retinal artery occlusion, hypotensive retinopathy (previously known as “venous...
