Course
Cortical blindness (bilateral occipital stroke) + Anton syndrome — what it looks like and imaging localization (Advanced)
Advanced course: bilateral occipital injury can cause cortical blindness with preserved eye structure. Some people deny blindness (Anton syndrome). Learn symptom patterns, safety issues, and how CT/MRI/CTA localize posterior circulation causes
