Is the Cortical Blindness Due to Diaschisis?
CLINICAL NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 1997Cortical blindness is defined as a loss of vision that is caused by bilateral occipital lobe lesions. Many reports of patients with cortical blindness describe bilateral occipital lesions visualized on morphologic and functional imaging studies. The authors present the case of a patient who became cortically blind after a hemorrhagic lesion of the ...

Transient cortical blindness in a child
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987A previously healthy 3-year-old girl with minor head injury developed a transient cortical blindness lasting approximately two hours. There were no objective findings on examination, but the child complained of loss of vision. She was evaluated with a computed tomography scan of the head, which was normal, and then was admitted for observation.

Cortical blindness as a complication of eclampsia
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1984Presented is a case of an eclamptic patient whose primary clinical presentation was cortical blindness. The patient was not known to be preeclamptic during her prenatal course, but she was lost to follow up one month prior to her presentation. Computed tomographic scan of the head was consistent with hypertensive encephalopathy.

Interferon-related cortical blindness
Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, 1992The term cortical blindness indicates loss of sight due to bilateral lesions in the occipital lobes. It is a rare but severe side effect produced by chemotherapeutic agents. Cortical blindness was diagnosed in a 75-year-old man who had been treated with alpha-interferon for metastatic renal-cell carcinoma. The absence of focal neurological signs and of

The incidence and etiology of cortical blindness--a disorder that usually occurs after cerebrovascular accidents, cardiorespiratory arrest, severe head trauma, or bacterial meningitis--may be changing with the development of effective means of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as three cases discussed here show.

Cortical implants for the blind
IEEE Spectrum, 1996Arrays of stimulating electrodes can be placed in the brain itself, in the visual cortex, to bring vision to the profoundly blind. However, when designing such devices one needs to take into consideration the fact that the visual pathway maps images onto cortical structures in a complex and unpredictable way.

Cortical blindness refers to a visual loss induced by a bilateral occipital lesion. The very strong cooperation between psychophysics, cognitive psychology, neurophysiology and neuropsychology these latter twenty years as well as recent progress in cerebral imagery have led to a better understanding of neurovisual deficits, such as cortical blindness ...
