摘要
Light-induced amaurosis (LIA) is a rare presentation of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. This report documents a 74-year-old Caucasian male who presented with profound right monocular vision loss, occurring on every occasion upon entering brightly lit environments. This was managed successfully with a right carotid endarterectomy. This case is presented to highlight the recognition and understanding of LIA and its importance for preservation of vision and prevention of ICA-related stroke.
