Abstract
- Background: Anton's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by a combination of visual anosognosia and confabulation of visual experience, most often seen after bilateral ischemic damage to the posterior occipital cortex.<br />Case Report: We report the first case of an acute synchronous P2 occlusion as confirmed by multiparametric computed tomography (CT) including perfusion. After the administration of Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), Anton's syndrome completely resolved.<br />Conclusion: Multiparametric CT imaging may aid in quickly proving the underlying stroke in Anton's syndrome, especially helpful considering the discrepancy between the patient's perception and clinical examination results.<br /> (Copyright © 2018.
