Review
Amaurosis fugax is the subjective phenomenon caused by a transient and temporary ceasing of the retinal blood flow. Wray classified amaurosis fugax in four types, according to the mechanisms involved: embolic, hypoperfusion, angiospasm and idiopathic. Amaurosis fugax is an important symptom because it can announce the definite visual loss, an cerebral infaction or even death caused by vascular causes.

Oxaliplatin-associated amaurosis fugax has not been reported, and its clinical course and treatment remain largely unclear. A 70-year-old man with advanced gastric cancer was treated with the SOX regimen. After cycle 1 of oxaliplatin infusion, the patient realized that his right eye had visual field impairment, which he described as darkening of the right half of his visual field and loss of vision lasting about 1 min and occurring about 7 times a day. The daily frequency of this occurrence gradually decreased, and his visual field impairment improved in 1 week. However, as the same symptoms recurred from cycle 2 to cycle 5 of treatment, oxaliplatin was discontinued from cycle 6 and switched to S-1 monotherapy. Subsequently, the patient's amaurosis fugax improved. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing clinical course and treatment of oxaliplatin-associated amaurosis fugax.

Review
Amaurosis fugax is an all-inclusive term for all forms of transient visual loss. Clinically, it can be divided into four identifiable symptom complexes, each with its underlying pathoetiology: embolic, hypoperfusion, angiospasm, and unknown.

We reviewed 112 patients with amaurosis fugax to refine our indications for carotid angiography. Eighty patients had a carotid endarterectomy. Thiry-four patients with ipsilateral hemispheric transient ischemic attacks plus amaurosis fugax all had an operable carotid lesion. The presence or absence of a carotid bruit, a normal or abnormal ophthalmologic examination, or a normal or abnormal cerebrovascular Doppler examination did not predict which patients would or would not have an operable carotid lesion. All patients with amaurosis fugax being evaluated for an operable carotid stenosis require angiography.
