Selective motion blindness (akinetopsia) is rare, with limited understanding of its causes and progression. This systematic review catalogs published cases to identify trends and common pathophysiologic pathways.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Ophthalmology
- Neurology
Background:
- Selective motion blindness, or akinetopsia, is a rare condition.
- Limited information exists regarding its causes, progression, pathophysiology, and diagnosis.
Conclusions:
- The study enhances understanding of akinetopsia by identifying commonalities and differences in its presentation and etiology.
- Findings suggest a unifying pathophysiologic mechanism underlying selective motion blindness.
- Further research is warranted to explore diagnostic methods and therapeutic interventions.
