TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Post-traumatic transient cortical blindness in a child with occipital bone fracture JO - Journal of clinical neuroscience A1 - Ng, Rachel H. C. SP - 225 EP - 227 VL - 34 IS - N2 - Cortical blindness as sequelae of trauma has been reported in literature but mostly in the setting of occipital cortex or visual tract damages. We present a case of transient cortical blindness in a child following a closed head injury with a non-displaced occipital bone fracture and underlying occipital lobe contusion. We discuss the pathophysiology behind Post-traumatic transient cortical blindness, relevant investigations, and current management.
