  • Title: [Gaze-evoked amaurosis fugax].
    Author: Berglöff J, Mattes D, Brix-Grünwald G, Gröll R, Weger M.
    Journal: Ophthalmologe; 2006 Dec; 103(12):1044-6. PubMed ID: 16847649.
    Abstract:
    Gaze-evoked amaurosis is a quite unique symptom. We present a 37-year-old patient with unilateral gaze-evoked amaurosis caused by an orbital tumor. Possible mechanisms include transient ischemia of the optic nerve and the retina or inhibition of the axonal impulses. While not common as a cause of amaurosis fugax, an orbital mass should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gaze-evoked atypical monocular amaurosis fugax.
