Transient cortical blindness, a rare contrast-induced encephalopathy, can recur years after carotid artery stenting. Prompt recognition is key to avoid unnecessary interventions for this stroke mimic.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Transient cortical blindness is a rare complication of contrast media.
- It is often mistaken for stroke after angiographic procedures.
