TRANSIENT CORTICAL BLINDNESS: A MUST KNOW COMPLICATION OF CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY

Abstract

Abstract &nbsp;&nbsp; INTRODUCTION: This is a case of transient visual loss following trans-femoral coronary angiography in a 44 year- old man, which lasted for 2 days. &nbsp;&nbsp; CASE REPORT: Ophthalmologic, neurological and radiological studies using physical exam and brain MRI showed no pathological finding. &nbsp;&nbsp; CONCLUSION: Visual loss resolved completely without any sequel in 2 days. The leakage of contrast agent into occipital area of the brain could possibly be the cause. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Keywords: Complication of coronary angiography, Transient Cortical Blindness &nbsp;</p
