Gaze-evoked amaurosis heralding orbital angiomyoma. Case report

Ital J Neurol Sci. 1997 Feb;18(1):31-4. doi: 10.1007/BF02106227.

Abstract

The unusual case of a patient presenting with gaze-evoked amaurosis as an early and isolated sign of orbital angiomyoma is reported. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance of the orbits need to be expeditiously performed in patients with gaze-evoked amaurosis in order to identify or rule out the possible presence of an underlying tumor.
