Acute binocular blindness, though rare, was identified in 10 patients. Prompt diagnosis and tailored treatment led to significant visual recovery in most cases, highlighting the importance of timely neurologic consultation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Acute binocular blindness is an infrequent neurological presentation.
  • This study focuses on patients presenting with sudden, simultaneous vision loss in both eyes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the causes and outcomes of acute binocular blindness in patients seen at a tertiary cancer center.
  • To determine the effectiveness of etiology-specific treatments for visual recovery.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 10 patients with acute onset blindness over 20 months.
  • Identification of probable causes for visual loss in all cases.

Main Results:

  • The probable cause of acute binocular blindness was identified in all 10 patients.

  • Treatment strategies were individualized based on the specific etiology of vision loss.

    • Conclusions:

    • Six out of ten patients experienced complete or near-complete recovery of vision.
    • Prompt diagnosis and etiology-guided treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in acute binocular blindness.
