Abstract

In this case report, we present a rare complication of cortical blindness, which is Anton Babinski syndrome. Patients with this syndrome usually disaffirm their blindness and confabulate to fill in missing visual information. The commonest etiology of cortical blindness is posterior cerebral artery infarction but in this particular report, we present a case of hypertensive patient with Anton Babinski syndrome who developed bilateral cerebral haematoma confined to parieto-occiput area
