ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Transient cortical blindness is a known complication of iodinated contrast administration and is believed to reflect osmotic injury or autoregulatory dysfunction of the posterior circulation. Here, we report 2 cases of postangiography transient cortical weakness, a rare clinical analog to transient cortical blindness that affects the anterior circulation. The symptoms, timeline, and imaging findings of transient cortical weakness are distinct from more common post-procedural complications such as acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
