Article Abstract
Seizure-induced blindness may be ictal or postictal(Todd's)phenomenon or a permanent consequence following status epilepticus.Its duration varies between less than 1 minute to 4 months,or can be permanent.Our case of cortical blindness is related to new onset occipital epilepsy from a left occipital focus,and adds to the evidence that cortical blindness occasionally occurs as an uncommon manifestation of seizure.
