Anton syndrome as a result of MS exacerbation

Visual anosognosia is the lack of awareness and denial of one's blindness. It is often referred to as Anton syndrome (AS), after one of the physicians who described the phenomenon of lacking insight into one's sensory deficit. There are limited numbers of case reports documenting the condition and many refer to the phenomenon in association with bilateral occipital infarcts. We describe a patient who developed visual anosognosia as a result of multiple sclerosis (MS).
