Summary
Transient cortical blindness, a rare complication of angiography, can occur even with iso-osmolar contrast agents like iodixanol. This case highlights the importance of considering contrast-induced visual disturbances and their potential for recovery.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Transient cortical blindness is an extremely rare neurological complication.
- It is typically associated with angiography and thought to involve temporary occipital cortex dysfunction.

01:21Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...
