Transient cortical blindness is a rare complication of mild head trauma, but it always creates fear in the patient and their family. However, it usually has a benign outcome. Post traumatic Transient Cortical Blindness is defined as temporary and complete visual loss associated with normal pupillary reflexes and fundoscopic examination with return of visual function without any long term neurological complications following minor head trauma. Since the number of reported cases are very less, transient blindness after head injury has been mostly attributed to hysteria if brain imaging and fundoscopy examination is normal. Post traumatic Transient Cortical Blindness was first reported by Lemiere [in 1918]but its pathophysiology is still unknown. We report one such case of transient blindness.
