Anton's syndrome is a rare cause of vertigo. Its diagnosis may be hindered by confabulatory claims of normal vision by the patient. Any cause of cortical blindness may result in Anton's syndrome, the commonest being a posterior circulation stroke. Here, we highlight a case of Anton's syndrome that was a result of a left vertebral artery thrombosis, presenting initially with vertigo. The patient had a background of previously undiagnosed bilateral posterior communicating artery and right vertebral artery hypoplasia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
