  • Title: [Postoperative cortical blindness after resection of a retroperitoneal teratoma].
    Author: Cuéllar E, Díaz-Sánchez F, Hinojosa A, González-Jiménez JM, Rodríguez-Rodríguez JM, Muñoz-Guardia JL.
    Journal: Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim; 1995 May; 42(5):178-81. PubMed ID: 7792417.
    Abstract:
    We present a rare case of cerebrovascular accident involving non-cardiac, non-neurological, non-carotid surgery in a 44-year-old man with no cardiovascular risk factors who underwent retroperitoneal resection of a teratocarcinoma, immediately after which he showed signs of confusion accompanied by cortical blindness. Neurological signs and symptoms remitted completely 5 days after surgery. Complementary tests and the patient's evolution confirmed a diagnosis of reversible ischemic neurological deficit.
