PURPOSE Diabetes mellitus aggravates carotid occlusive disease, that can manifest as ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS). Ocular manifestations and visual prognosis of OIS in diabetic patients were retrospectively analyzed. METHODS Twenty-three consecutive diabetic patients with OIS were divided into two groups according to the presence of iris neovascularization, and the clinical features were re...

There is eridence that microemboli responsible for araaurosis fugax may be atheromatous but it can elude ophthaimoscopic confirmation, because such emboii quickly fragment and disappear from view in the retinal vessels. This report documents 2 patients in whom fluorescein angiography of the retina provided evidence of microembolization after an attack of amaurosis although the fundus appeared n...

A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for persistent fever, myalgias, articular pain, headache, and hypoaesthesia of the scalp. The clinical scenario was typical for giant-cell arteritis. During hospital stay, patient developed fugax amaurosis, stroke, and acute coronary syndrome. The definitive diagnosis of infective endocarditis, supported by transesophageal echocardiography, was con...

Motion aftereffects are historically considered evidence for neuronal populations tuned to specific directions of motion. Despite a wealth of motion aftereffect studies investigating 2D (frontoparallel) motion mechanisms, there is a remarkable dearth of psychophysical evidence for neuronal populations selective for the direction of motion through depth (i.e., tuned to 3D motion). We compared th...
