Ocular Migraine With Amaurosis Fugax of the Left Eye : A Case Report
Copyright © 2022, Tazin et al..
In amaurosis fugax, there is a sudden loss of vision in one eye. Patients gain their vision after a few minutes. The most common underlying cause is atherosclerosis of the internal carotid artery. Other underlying causes include vasospasm of the internal carotid artery, which leads to hypoperfusion and is seen in vasculitis, ocular migraines, and systemic lupus erythematosus. In this case study, a 44-year-old male with a past medical history of migraine with aura presented to the emergency room with transient vision loss in the left eye, which lasted for two minutes. A computed tomography scan of the brain was negative for stroke. The patient was treated with intravenous fluid, aspirin, and enoxaparin sodium and instructed to follow up with neurology. A medical emergency such as amaurosis fugax caused by ocular migraine must be managed aggressively, and prompt imaging is necessary to exclude other causes.
