Ophthalmologic complication after TFCA has rarely been reported, and most complications are associated with an intraoperative thrombo-embolic event. We reported a patient who developed a superior altitudinal visual field defect one day after diagnostic TFCA. The ophthalmic exam revealed a prominent inferior optic disc edema, and the fluorescein angiographic showed the non-perfusion of the corresponding inferior sectoral optic disc. Diffusion-weighted MRI on the day following cerebral angiography revealed multiple focal scattered acute infarctions. Even one month after steroid pulse therapy, the superior nasal field defect remained with minimal improvement. We believe this case was consistent with an acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) due to thrombo-embolism after TFCA. Ophthalmic examinations and a visual field test should be performed before and immediately after the TFCA, particularly in the case with a high risk of thromboembolic events.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57060567","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,3]],"date-time":"2021-06-03T10:59:51Z","timestamp":1622717991000},"page":"567","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Altitudinal Visual Field Defects Following Diagnostic Transfemoral Cerebral Angiography"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Kyungwoo","family":"Yoon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soo Young","family":"Chae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology, Seoul Saint Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiyoung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"812","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2433060536","article-title":"Complications of diagnostic cerebral angiography: Evaluation of 19,826 consecutive patients","volume":"243","author":"Kaufmann","year":"2007","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"39","DOI":"10.1007\/s00234-002-0889-5","article-title":"Ischemic lesions related to cerebral angiography: Evaluation by diffusion weighted MR imaging","volume":"45","author":"Kato","year":"2003","journal-title":"Neuroradiology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"204","DOI":"10.1080\/028418500127345299","article-title":"Neurologic complications of cerebral angiography; A retrospective study of complication rate and patient risk factors","volume":"40","author":"Leffers","year":"2000","journal-title":"Acta Radiol."},{"key":"ref_4","first-page":"27","article-title":"Visual sequelae after consensus-based treatment of ophthalmic artery segment aneurysms: The Johns Hopkins experience","volume":"32","author":"Kanagalingam","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
