Transient Amaurosis in One Eye With Simultaneous Dilatation of Retinal Veins

Morning glory disk anomaly: A computerized analysis of contractile movements with implications for pathogenesis

“…8 In light of this, the actions of such contractile cells might be clear in the excavated and colobomatous eye, but might not be evident in the eye with normal scleral coverage. In addition, the transient monocular visual loss observed in patients with good visual acuity 3,4,9 further supports the action of intermittent muscular contraction, which might contribute to the intermittent compression around the optic nerve.…”

Ocular Migraine in a Patient with Cluster Headaches

“…Careful funduscopic examination may reveal the cause of transient visual obscuration, including drusen of the optic nerve, 25 papilledema, 26 or congenital dysplasia of the optic disc. 27 Carotid angiography is essential to rule out occlusive cerebrovascular disease or a supratentorial arteriovenous aneurysm. 1 To eliminate cardiac causes, 28,29 a detailed examination of the heart is required, including electrocardiography and echocardiography.…”

Optic Disc Contractility in Morning Glory Disc Anomaly

“…11 A 21.5% reduction of the optic cup and 39.9% change in size of the optic disc was observed, which may explain transient vision loss in patients with morning glory anomaly. 6,17 Further imaging of the contraction of the optic disc in this condition, as with optical coherence tomography, could prove useful in understanding the effects of the contraction on neighboring structures, including the peripapillary retina and subretinal space. Recently, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography was performed on 9 eyes with morning glory disc anomaly, 3 of which had contractility, and no differences were found regarding the presence of subretinal fluid or cerebrospinal communications between contractile and non-contractile morning glory discs or any other anomaly that could explain the contractile behavior of some but not all morning glory discs.…”
