�DENIAL OF BLINDNESS FOLLOWING
CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY
MAX FINK, M.D.1

In the ﬁfty-eight years since the original report of Anton (1),
there has been controversy in the literature as to whether denial of
blindness is the result of a speciﬁc focal cerebral lesion or of a
generalized disturbance of brain function without speciﬁc localizing signiﬁcance.2 In reviewing the cases of denial of blindness, the
majority of reports describe the patients as “confabulating,” “disoriented,” or “showing a Korsakoff psychosis.” Such descriptions
lend support to the concept that denial occurs in a milieu of altered cerebral function. Studies of denial of hemiplegia, usually
described under the term “anosognosia,” bring out identical arguments as to the signiﬁcance of the phenomenon for localized dysfunction. Indeed, in many reports of denial of blindness, note is
made of simultaneous denial of hemiplegia or of other defects.
The literature of denial of illness, as well as clinical and experimental evidence to support their concepts, has been recently summarized by Weinstein and Kahn (23). They conclude that various
forms of denial are a unitary phenomenon without cerebral localizing value, and that denial is an adaptation to a defect in the milieu
of diffusely altered cerebral function. In this regard, most of the
defects denied are of rapid onset, are not limited to one defect, are
accompanied by confabulation, amnesia, changes in mood and
absence of anxiety. The degree of altered cerebral function which
provides the milieu for such adaptation is usually severe. Thus,
their reports, as well as those of other authors cited (see footnote 2),
Director, Research Service, Hillside Hospital, Glen Oaks, N. Y.
2The reviews of Critchley (6) and Weinstein and Kahn (23) present the two
aspects of this problem. For speciﬁc reports ascribing the phenomena to focal
cerebral disease see Barkman (2), Gerstmann (10), von Hagen and Ives (21, 22),
Ives and Nielsen (l2), and Paul (16). Reports ascribing the phenomena to diffuse
cerebral disturbances include Lunn (13), Redlich and Bonvicini (l7), Redlich and
Dorsey (18), and Sandifer (19).

describe the phenomena of explicit denial of blindness and of hemiplegia as occurring in patients with brain tumors, subarachnoid
hemorrhages and vascular disease.
The following case history is presented as exemplifying various
aspects of the syndrome of denial. The data support the thesis that
the phenomenon is an adaptive response to a defect under the
conditions of altered cerebral function, rather than the result of
focal cerebral pathology. A patient, under observation for enlargement of the sella turcica presumably the result of pituitary adenomatous growth, was subjected to cerebral Iodopyracet (Diodrast)
angiography. Before the procedure he was alert and oriented, but
immediately following the second series of injections of Iodopyracet,
he developed left hemiplegia, which gradually resolved. In the ensuing hours, blindness developed and was denied by the patient.
The syndrome persisted for 48 hours, and then resolved. When the
patient was seen in a follow-up visit eight months later there was
an amnesia for the period of denial.
Case Report:3 E. S., a 58-year-old right-handed male, was admitted for diagnostic study to the Monteﬁore Hospital with a sixmonths history of headaches and blurring of vision. Four months
previously he had an episode of ptosis of the right lid associated
with dilatation of the right pupil, which had persisted for a few
weeks. Headaches became increasingly severe, and X—ray examination of the skull prior to admission demonstrated an enlarged sella
turc1ca.
He related his own history; appeared neither acutely nor chroni—
cally ill; was alert, well oriented, and cooperative, with good
memory and calculating ability. He was jovial, made friends readily,
and was well liked. He denied previous severe illnesses, or persistent
somatic complaints. He was fastidious about his personal belongings
and was reluctant to intrude. The general examination was normal
except for palpable enlargement of the right lobe of the thyroid
gland. Neurological examination was normal except for the cranial
nerve examination. His pupils were dilated, the right larger than
the left. The reaction to light was sluggish on the right, and the
pupils reacted well to near vision. The fundi showed well-outlined

papillae with clear margins, deﬁnite temporal pallor, and normal
vascularization. Visual acuity was 15/20 on the right, and 15/40
on the left. Visual ﬁelds to 1/2000 white test object demonstrated a
relative bitemporal hemianopsia without macular sparing.
The lumbar puncture and routine blood and urine studies were
normal. Skull X-ray revealed enlargement of the sella turcica; atrophy of the anterior and posterior clinoids; and calciﬁcations along

the lateral border of the sella. Pneumoencephalography demonstrated encroachment of the cisterna chiasmatis and pontis by a
mass originating from the sella. An electroencephalogram showed
a slight degree of electrical abnormality on the left side, mainly
inferior and posterior. Alpha frequencies and amplitude were
symmetric.
For further clariﬁcation of the pathologic process, carotid angiography was recommended. Under local anesthesia, the right common carotid artery was exposed, and forty cc. of 35% Iodopyracet
(Diodrast) was administered. Since the serial angiograms thus made
were unsatisfactory, another injection of 15 cc. Iodopyracet was
made. Immediately following this injection, the patient developed
a complete left hemiparesis, including the face. He was restless,
confused and irritable. He appeared drowsy; failed to obey commands and was irrelevant in speech. Vasodilators were administered,
and the hemiparesis showed some improvement.
That evening he was restless, directing his gaze most often to
the right. When spoken to from his left side, he would turn his
head to the right or backward, before ﬁnally localizing the voice
correctly. He answered questions relevantly. Visual acuity was reduced to light perception, and pupillary reactions were present,
though sluggish. He was unable to localize the position of a light
nor identify ﬁngers or objects; yet he denied his inability to see,
confabulating seemingly appropriate responses. He was oriented for
place but only approximately for time and date. Despite a large
neck bandage, he denied the recent cutdown. A lumbar puncture
was performed. The initial pressure was 140 mm. CSF, ﬁnal pressure
of 60mm. after the removal of 8 cc. of clear, colorless ﬂuid which
had no cells and a protein content of 43 mg%.
Twelve hours later, now oriented in space and time on gross
questioning, he was still unable correctly to localize light or perceive objects. There was a residual left hemiparesis. He denied both
his weakness and his blindness. When walking about the room he
stumbled over objects and bumped into the wall and the bed. He
correctly identiﬁed the various examiners by their voices, and
named a coin, key, pencil and comb by touch. There was no sensory
loss on single stimulation; gait was hesitant; and the reﬂexes were
increased on the left with bilateral Babinski responses and absent
abdominal reﬂexes.
Thirty-six hours later the hemiparesis had cleared except for a
residual left Babinski response. He perceived light and localized
it well in‘space, but image formation for reading or ﬁne identiﬁcation was impaired. Despite the partial nature of his vision, he still
failed to recognize his impairment, confabulating many responses.
An electroencephalogram at this time showed a change from the
original record. There was bilateral asymmetry with high per cent
time delta activity and a slowed, poorly organized alpha rhythm,
mostly on the right.
Forty-six hours later his vision had returned so that he was able

241

to read. He was oriented, alert, affable and friendly. He maintained
that he had been able to read and to see throughout the previous
two days. He had an amnesia for the surgery, the hemiparesis and
the blindness. During the ensuing weeks, visual acuity returned to
normal; with visual ﬁelds manifesting minimal bitemporal hemianopic defect. An electroencephalogram one week later showed
posterior voltages to be less depressed; per cent time delta activity
had decreased; and there was desynchronization of the record on

On examination eight months after this episode and after a
course of radiation therapy for pituitary adenoma, this patient was
alert, oriented and cooperative; with only occasional complaints of
headache. The neurological examination was completely negative
with normal visual acuity and a slight (10°) bitemporal hemianopic
defect with 1/1000 white test objects. He denied any experience of
blindness or weakness but did recall the neck dissection that preceded the angiography. When told of the experience, he jokingly
denied the weakness and the blindness by saying that I was mistaking him for another patient.

Discussion: Two aspects of this case report warrant ampliﬁcation: the signiﬁcance of the denial phenomenon and the cause of
complications following cerebral angiography. The various aspects
of denial of illness described by Weinstein and Kahn are well exempliﬁed here. The acute onset of hemiplegia and blindness was
followed by a period of restlessness, disorientation, and altered consciousness. Within a few hours, these gross symptoms were replaced
by a calm, disinterested, smiling attitude in which the multiple
defects of left-sided weakness and blindness were denied. He confabulated, was disoriented for time and date, and later was amnestic for this period. An electroencephalogram demonstrated bilateral diffuse slow wave activity of high voltage. Furthermore,
despite the visual loss, the phenomenon of spatial inattention4 was
observed. This complex of symptoms and signs is generally noted in
diffuse cerebral disorders. While much effort has gone into localizing these defects, it is difficult to conceive a single focal lesion
affecting the visual tracts bilaterally, the right hemisphere in an
Various terms have been applied to the unawareness of one half of the body
and the body space, such as imperception for one half of body (Schilder, 20),
hemi-depersonalization (Ehrenwald, 7) and autosomatagnosia (Gerstmann, 10).

area productive of hemiplegia and the frontal areas assumed to be
productive of apathy, denial, and loss of anxiety. While the possibility of a focal lesion as the basis for this syndrome cannot be
ruled out, it is more tenable to conclude that diffuse cerebral dys~
function was present. This conclusion is supported by the electroencephalogram, and also by experimental evidence noted below,
demonstrating the effect of intra-arterial Iodopyracet as inducing
severe vasospasm followed by generalized cerebral edema and increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
The signiﬁcance of the phenomenon of denial is to be seen in
its defensive nature. While undergoing a test procedure, the patient suddenly suffers a catastrophic disability. His initial response
of severe anxiety, manifested by restlessness, startle reaction, and
irritability, is soon replaced by explicit denial. This primitive, “psychotic” defense is normally present only in childhood. But under
the special conditions of cerebral dysfunction, with disturbances in
spatial and temporal orientation and perception, denial of reality
becomes tenable. It is maintained so long as the disability and the
milieu of cerebral dysfunction persist. In this patient, as soon as
visual perception was sufficient for reading, confabulation and
explicit denial were no longer actively maintained for ongoing
events. In the special situation of interviews with the staff during
the period of visual and motor loss, the patient manifested no concern and confabulated responses readily. When visual acuity returned and his hemiparesis cleared, he maintained the same

illness. To the extent that the information is now available, this
patient manifested a considerable number of the features described
by Weinstein and Kahn (24).
Special note should be made of the phenomenon of spatial inattention. The patient’s original visual complaint of blurred vision
was accompanied by a minimal bitemporal hemianopia, apparent
only on testing with 1/2000 white test objects. During the period
of visual loss he was unable to locate a light and confabulated responses. One week later the bitemporal hemianopia was present to
3/2000 white test object, but in addition there was an irregular left
homonymous upper temporal ﬁeld defect to 5/2000 white. Evidence
of a left homonymous ﬁeld defect persisted in examinations for
three weeks, after which only residual bitemporal defects were persistently reported. Left spatial inattention was prominent in the
ﬁrst 48 hours of this syndrome only, at the time when visual im-

pairment was maximal, and when hemiparesis was present. When
the hemiparesis receded, visual function returned, and orientation
was intact, then spatial inattention disappeared. Thus, spatial inattention was an aspect of the total disturbance in function, possibly motivated by the left-sided defects, and was probably not
dependent on a speciﬁc visual ﬁeld defect.
The syndrome of blindness and its denial following cerebral
angiography is unique. Focal lesions producing transient hemiplegia, hemisensory defects, seizures, aphasia, and various cranial
nerve syndromes have been described. In a series of 117 percutaneous carotid angiograms, Fink and Stein (9) noted an 8 per cent
morbidity of such transient phenomena. Other series variously report such complications from 3 to 15 per cent of the cases.5 These
ﬁgures do not include the few patients in whom the complications
as hemiplegia, aphasia or exaggeration of their basic disease are
permanent; or who succumb. In these studies of the complications
of angiography, emphasis is placed on the relation of the concentration of the contrast medium, the rate and quantity of contrast
substance injected and the time within which the injections are
repeated. In experimental studies Olsson (14), Broman and Olsson
(5) and Bloor et al. (3) demonstrated summation of toxic effects
when the contrast substance was rapidly injected into animal arteries; and noted increased vascular permeability, cerebral edema
and petechial hemorrhages not limited to the side of the injection.
While it is possible that the complications of angiography are the
result of thrombus formation at the needle site and focal embolization, it is more likely that diffuse toxic cerebral vascular changes
are induced as seen experimentally. The diffuse character of the
defects and the transient nature of the phenomena in this patient
are readily understood in this context.
Summary and Conclusions: In the course of carotid angiography
in a patient with evidence of a pituitary adenoma, an acute transient episode of blindness and hemiplegia developed. Following a
short period of restlessness and confusion, the patient became
calm, denied his blindness and weakness, confabulated responses to
questions, was disoriented, and manifested spatial inattention.
The diffuse nature of the cerebral dysfunction underlying this
syndrome is emphasized by noting the distribution of the presumed
lesions, the bilateral, diffuse slowing of the electroencephalogram,

and the diffuse nature of the toxic sequellae of intra-carotid Iodopyracet (Diodrast).
The defensive-adaptive signiﬁcance of the syndrome of denial
of blindness and hemiplegia is discussed, with emphasis on the
development of this attitude under the special conditions of altered
frames of temporal and spatial reference provided by altered
cerebral function.
