  • Title: Transient cortical blindness following a Hangman's fracture: a case report and review of literature.
    Author: Korula PJ, Thomas SG, Sen N, Chacko AG.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2012 Apr; 26(2):272-4. PubMed ID: 22026474.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case with transient cortical blindness after trauma with no obvious structural damage to the vertebral artery in the presence of a C2 spondylolisthesis. A patient complaining of blindness in a setting of polytrauma should always alert the possibility of a cervical spine injury with vertebral artery ischaemia.
