title: [Hysterical blindness: apropos of a case].
abstract: Conversion disorders that present "neurological" symptoms are unusual, and, among them, the occurrence of blindness is very rare nowadays. We report the case of a patient with a long history of neurological-like complaints, including an episode of sudden onset blindness that eventually led to the diagnosis of somatoform disorder.
