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.
运动失认症是一种罕见的视觉皮层障碍，患者会丧失感知运动的能力。大多数临床医生常常会误诊视觉皮层障碍，因为他们误解了视觉功能障碍的原因。自1911年首次描述运动失认症以来，仅有少数病例得到研究。最近的病例表明，它不一定仅归因于血管性病因和神经退行性疾病，还可通过经颅磁刺激和某些药物诱发。本文旨在回顾近期研究中运动失认症的病因，以便更全面地了解这种疾病及其对患者生活的影响。
