Abstract

Cortical blindness originating from the brain’s cortex is an uncommon yet severe pregnancy-related complication, often associated with preeclampsia or posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). We present the case of a first-time pregnant woman, aged 28, who experienced sudden bilateral visual loss postpartum. Neuroimaging revealed findings consistent with PRES. Timely diagnosis and management led to partial visual recovery. This report highlights the critical importance of prompt diagnosis and management for pregnancy-induced cortical blindness.
