| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Amaurosis''' (Greek meaning ''darkening'', ''dark'', or ''obscure'') is [[vision loss]] or weakness that occurs without an apparent lesion affecting the [[eye]] [http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands.jspzQzpgzEzzSzppdocszSzuszSzcommonzSzdorlandszSzdorlandzSzdmd_a_27zPzhtm]. It may result from either a medical condition or from excess acceleration, as in flight. The term is the same as the [[Latin language|Latin]] ''gutta serena''.
| |
| | |
| ==Types==
| |
| [[Leber's congenital amaurosis]] is an inherited disease resulting in severe vision loss or blindness that was first described by Theodore Leber in the 19th century.
| |
| | |
|
| |
| | |
| This condition can also occur in ruminants suffering from a [[vitamin B1]] ([[Thiamin]]) deficiency due to '''Thiamine-Related Cerebrocortical Necrosis (CCN)'''.
| |
| | |
| ==Management==
| |
| Those experiencing amaurosis are usually advised to consult a [[physician]] immediately as any form of [[vision loss]], even if temporary, is a [[symptom]] that may indicate the presence of a serious ocular or systemic problem.
