Abstract Selective motion blindness, also known as akinetopsia, is infrequently reported in the literature. Hence, little is known about the condition including its causes, time course, pathophysiology, and current diagnostic methods. In this investigation, we comprehensively surveyed the literature using a systematic review to identify each reported case of the condition. The purpose of this study was to provide an exhaustive catalog of every published occurrence to date to identify and discuss trends, commonalities, and differences among them. Our results revealed distinct characteristics for the various etiologies of this phenomenon in addition to a shared pathophysiologic pathway among them.
