Abstract
“I briefly lost vision after quickly getting up” is something which we all experienced. Mostly this is entirely normal. “I briefly lost vision in one eye whilst driving” can be a warning sign for a life threatening stroke. In both situations the doctor needs to think of a vascular cause. The workshop will cover the spectrum of conditions which can give rise to these symptoms. This will be illustrated with interactive case presentations. You will learn to separate non-embolic from embolic aetiologies by taking a structured history. This is essential for triage of “high risk” patients for urgent management. Likewise the approach will help with treatment of the large number of patients who have frequent attacks of transient visual loss which are not at risk for a stroke.
