Abstract:
Cardiac catheterization is a standard procedure performed approximately 1 million times per year. Transient cortical blindness is a rare complication of this procedure. Herein we report a case of complete bilateral vision loss after cardiac catheterization through right radial access, which, to our knowledge, has only been reported once before. Prompt identification of this complication is crucial for patient care. This report provides insight into the diagnostic difficulties, differential diagnosis, imaging findings, and management of transient cortical blindness.
