摘要

Akinetopsia is a rare visual cortical disorder in which patients lose the ability to perceive motion. Visual cortical disorders are often misdiagnosed by most clinicians because they misinterpret the cause of visual dysfunction. Since akinetopsia was first described in 1911, only a handful of cases have been studied. Recent cases have demonstrated that it is not necessarily attributed only to vascular causes and neurodegenerative diseases but can also be induced through transcranial magnetic stimulation, and certain medications. This paper aims to review the etiology of akinetopsia in recent studies and provide a more holistic understanding of the disorder and its impact on patients’ lives.
