Anton-Babinski syndrome is a rare extension of cortical blindness following injury to the occipital lobe. The patient behaves as sighted but has visual function derangements. The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) stroke represents 5% to 10% of total strokes. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown a rise in stroke cases. We present a case of this rare PCA stroke, first diagnosed by an ophthalmologist. This case had an inconsistent initial presentation, but subsequent computed tomography of the brain and other neurological investigations confirmed the diagnosis. If such cases are diagnosed early, they could have better management. Timely intervention can decrease morbidity as well as mortality.
