| Description |
Vasospastic amaurosis fugax (VAF) is a rare clinical entity in which there is recurrent transient unilateral visual loss due to presumed retinal artery vasospasm (RAV). The visual loss can last from seconds to few hours and most patients have negative visual phenomena. Treatment with Calcium-channel blockers may be an effective treatment in these cases. We will present a unique case of VAF due to ophthalmic artery vasospasm (OAV) that has different clinical features then RAV, and responded to different treatment. Review of literature shows it to be the first angiography proven case of VAF due to OAV. |
