[Postoperative cortical blindness after resection of a retroperitoneal teratoma].
We present a rare case of cerebrovascular accident involving non-cardiac, non-neurological, non-carotid surgery in a 44-year-old man with no cardiovascular risk factors who underwent retroperitoneal resection of a teratocarcinoma, immediately after which he showed signs of confusion accompanied by cortical blindness. Neurological signs and symptoms remitted completely 5 days after surgery. Complementary tests and the patient's evolution confirmed a diagnosis of reversible ischemic neurological deficit.
