The Original Description of Anton Syndrome

We would like to commend Eby et al [] regarding their recent case description in “The Rehabilitation of Anton Syndrome” and would like to share our perspective related to a review of Anton's original description. Many authors have used the eponym “Anton syndrome” to describe cortical blindness with visual anosognosia. Specifically, Eby et al [] state that “Anton syndrome, also referred to as visual anosognosia, is a rare stroke syndrome that involves the bilateral occipital lobes seen most commonly as a result of cerebrovascular disease.” This description is consistent with many recent descriptions of this syndrome.
