Amaurosis fugax, or fleeting loss of vision, is often attributed to embolic retinovascular disease. In this setting, there is appropriate concern for associated cerebrovascular complications. Extensive and expensive vascular evaluation may be indicated. Less often, local ocular abnormalities may
Uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome is a rare late complication of anterior segment surgery. We present 2 unusual cases of this syndrome that were mistakenly diagnosed as amaurosis fugax, leading to contraindicated treatment. These cases illustrate the need for ophthalmologic examination during an
A 31-year-old woman presented with recurrent transient monocular blindness. As transient ischaemic attacks were suspected further investigations were targeted at evaluation of premature atherosclerotic lesions in the internal carotid artery. Initially laboratory tests were not performed. After
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare condition which occasionally causes neurological complications. A 43-year-old female with multiple PAVFs presented with several episodes of amaurosis fugax and transient right hemiparesis. She had no other vascular abnormality, and her human leukocyte
In more than 50% of amaurosis fugax patients under 45 years of age no cause for the episodes of visual loss is identifiable. We have encountered 6 young adults (4 women and 2 men) with episodes of amaurosis fugax associated with elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies. Splinter hemorrhages of
OBJECTIVE
The primary antiphospholipid syndrome consists of recurrent thromboses, early stroke, recurrent fetal loss, and livedo reticularis in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies and without systemic lupus erythematosus. The purpose of this study was to analyze the imaging findings in
Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome is associated with mucocutaneous telangiectases and iron deficiency anaemia caused by epistaxis or blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract. We describe a 41-year-old Chinese man who presented with amaurosis fugax secondary
CONCLUSIONS
Angiographically occult vascular malformations refer to cerebrovascular malformations that are not demonstrable on technically satisfactory cerebral angiography. Authors herein present a very unusual intracranial bleeding complication related to an angiographically occult vascular
Despite the beneficial effect of systemic fibrinolysis in treatment within 3 hours from ischemic stroke onset, the unpredicted occurrence of intracerebral hemorrhage remains a risk from such therapy. Few data exist defining patients at risk for this outcome. We report clinical and neuropathological
Amaurosis fugax has frequently been related to carotid artery disease. In order to determine the relationship between amaurosis fugax and significant carotid artery stenosis, we prospectively studied 81 consecutive patients presenting to an ophthalmologist with this symptom. Neurologic and vascular
OBJECTIVE
Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), visualized by magnetic resonance imaging, has shown to be associated with the risk of stroke in patients with carotid artery stenosis. The mechanisms of IPH development are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the association between clinical
A 73-year-old white man with pseudophakia experienced repeated bouts of transient visual loss associated with erythropsia and colour desaturation. A diagnosis of atheromatous carotid vascular disease was considered, prompting carotid angiography, during which time the patient experienced transient
Clinical and Doppler sonographic findings on the internal carotid artery of 218 patients with acute central retinal artery obstruction (42), branch retinal artery obstruction (43), anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) (51), amaurosis fugax (AF) (21), and retinal vein occlusions (61) were
BACKGROUND
The duplex scan with its improved technology has allowed clinicians to visualize noninvasively the carotid bifurcation. We investigated whether the duplex scan, with its ability to visualize plaque structure, can reliably predict the major components of different plaques seen in
We examined 134 carotid plaques microscopically in 125 consecutive patients, and found 21 (15.7%) had simple fibrous plaques versus 113 (84.3%) complicated plaques. The following plaque characteristics were present: intraplaque hemorrhage (73 plaques), ulceration (83 plaques), fresh thrombus (93
