[A man with vision problems after coronary angiography].

Abstract
A 71-year-old man underwent a coronary angiography (CAG). Afterwards he experienced vision loss. Neurologic examination revealed bilateral cortical blindness. A cerebral CT-scan showed occipital hyperdensity, due to contrast accumulation and oedema. There was complete recovery of vision within 2 days. Transient cortical blindness after CAG is a rare complication of iodinated contrast agents.
