GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Anton-Babinski syndrome, also known as ABS or Anton syndrome, is visual anosognosia, or denial of vision loss, associated with confabulation, or making up experiences to compensate for memory loss, in the setting of cortical blindness.

Detailed explanation-2: -Patients with Anton’s syndrome strongly believe they can see what they cannot and behave and talk as though they were sighted. Attention to the possibility of the condition is, however, drawn when they walk into walls, fall over furniture and describe objects that are not present.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anton syndrome is a rare condition in which the patient loses their sight but doesn’t recognize that they’re blind. It’s caused by damage in the brain’s occipital lobe, usually from a stroke but rarely from other conditions. Treatment focuses on the condition that caused the damage to the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -What are the current treatments for Anton Syndrome? Treatment of Anton-Babinski Syndrome is based on its cause. If caused by a stroke, then antiplatelet therapy is administered, while any cardiovascular conditions should be assessed and treated as well.
