Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acute binocular blindness is an uncommon cause for neurologic consultation. METHODS: Over the last 20 months 10 patients with acute onset blindness were seen at a tertiary cancer center. Probable cause was identified in all patients. RESULTS: Treatment varied and was determined by etiology of visual loss. CONCLUSIONS: Six patients made a complete or near complete recovery.
