| Description |
Cerebral blindness is characterized by absence of blink to threat and optokinetic responses with normal fundi and preserved pupillary light reflexes (Liu 310). It results from bilateral retrogeniculate dysfunction (310). Anton's syndrome refers to visual loss that is characterized by denial of blindness. While it classically presents in the form of cortical blindness, which is defined by bilateral occipital cortex involvement, to our knowledge, bilateral optic radiation involvement has not been previously described. |
