Abstract
The prevalence of cerebrovascular complications after cardiac catheterization is low. These include stroke, transient ischemic attack, and amaurosis fugax. Cortical blindness is a rare, bilateral clinical condition of largely ischemic etiology, characterized by damage to the cerebral cortex, which manifests with acute reduction of visual acuity. Usually, neuro-ophthalmic complications of cardiac catheterization are correlated with embolic phenomena or migraine. We report a case of transient cortical blindness during coronary and aortocoronary bypass graft angiography.
