Abstract

Anton-Babinski syndrome is a rare neuropsychiatric clinical entity characterized by bilateral cortical blindness, visual confabulation and anosognosia. In this case report, we present a 93-year-old case of Anton-Babinski Syndrome with bilateral posterior cerebellar artery occlusion in the light of current literature. It is clinically important to recognize this condition, which is mainly associated with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke of both occipital lobes.

Özet

Anton-Babinski sendromu, bilateral kortikal körlük, görsel konfabülasyon ve anosognozi ile karakterize, nadir görülen bir nöropsikiyatrik klinik antitedir. Bu olgu sunumunda 93 yaşında bilateral posterior serebellar arter oklüzyonu olan Anton-Babinski Sendromu olgusunu güncel literatür eşliğinde sunduk. Esas olarak her iki oksipital lobun iskemik veya hemorajik inmesi ile ilişkili olan bu durumun tanınması klinik olarak önemlidir.
