| Popis: | Focal occipital seizures are typically associated with simple isual phenomenon, such as scotomas or flashes of light. With pread to the temporal and parietal regions, symptoms of greater isual complexity may occur, including metamorphopsia (distorion of shape), micropsia or macropsia (distortion of size), and allucinations consisting of colorful imagery. Nonvisual manifesations, such as blinking and contralateral eye or head deviation, ay also occur [1]. Less frequently, occipital seizures may present ith visual loss, as an ictal or postictal phenomenon, which may e transient or permanent [2]. Visual anosognosia or denial of loss f vision, also know by its eponym, Anton’s syndrome, as an ictal r post-ictal phenomenon, has rarely been reported [3]. Herein, we iscuss a patient whose visual anosognosia was prominent during he post-ictal period. |
