Features of Patients with Transient Monocular Blindness: A Multicenter Retrospective Study in Japan

Conclusions: TMB was not common in our TIA inpatients. This study suggests that patients with TMB should immediately undergo a diagnostic workup, including brain and vessel imaging, and cardiac evaluation, as is performed in patients with other cerebral TIA symptoms. A larger, prospective cohort is needed to confirm the risks and outcomes of patients with TMB in the Japanese population.
