Amaurosis fugax, or "fleeting blindness," has been known as a
clinical entity for hundreds of years (1). Since 1859, we also have
understood that the phenomenon frequently is related to
atheroembolic disease and that it is considered a classic
manifestation of ocular transient ischemic attacks and a potential
precursor to stroke. However, many questions about this syndrome
have remained unanswered until quite recently, when a great deal of
new information and thought has been directed to the subject.
Transient monocular blindness (TMB) is only one manifestation of a
complicated syndrome of ocular, systemic, and cerebral diseases
that may include some degree of monocular blindness. The duration
of blindness varies from very brief (seconds) to complete and
permanent. The per manent type is referred to as ocular infarction
or ocular stroke. Retinal infarction is the most severe degree of
monocular blindness and usually is due to embolic occlusion of the
central retinal artery or one of its branches. Varying types of
arterial emboli have been described, including thrombus,
cholesterol, platelets, and fibrin.
