Abstract

Abstract: Transient cortical blindness (TCB) is a rare consequence of cerebral angiography with no recognized cause. TCB was observed in a patient with a wide‐neck cavernous aneurysm during digital subtraction angiography. One hour after angiography, vision returned spontaneously, with no neurological damage. An MRI was performed three hours after the incident and revealed no abnormalities. Abstract : Transient cortical blindness is a rare complication of cerebral angiography. Digital subtraction angiography revealed TCB in a wide‐neck cavernous aneurysm patient. No neurological damage occurred after an hour of angiography. A three‐hour MRI found no abnormalities.
