Abstract

Transient cortical blindness is a rare but well-recognized complication of cerebral angiography. A 62-year-old woman with unruptured cerebral aneurysm and a 16-year-old boy with cerebellar hemangioblastoma experienced blindness after diagnostic cerebral angiography and tumor embolization, and the symptom resolved after 1 hour and 36 hours later, respectively. We report two cases of this complication.
