The magnetic resonance imaging findings in a case of transient cortical blindness (TCB) after cardiac catheterization are described for the first time. In addition, a literature review of TCB, comparison with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy, and a hypothesis regarding the pathophysiology of TCB are presented.
