ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of amaurosis fugax treated first by systemic fibrinolysis and then by antiplatelet treatment. A 47-year-old suffering from transient amaurosis due to recurrent occlusion of retinal arterial branches improved after treatment and showed no recurrence. This protocol appears effective in cases of probable embolus in a young patient with no contraindications and when flow is not reestablished (amaurosis fugax), or when the required 6-hour time delay is respected.
