Letter to the Editor Regarding “Bioccipital Lobe Hypoperfusion and Anton's Syndrome Resolution with Intravenous Thrombolysis”

We have read with great interest the article by Rotkopf et al.1 The authors presented a rare case of Anton's syndrome confirmed by multiparametric computed tomography (CT) and completely resolved after the administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). We absolutely agree with the authors that multiparametric CT imaging may aid in quickly proving the underlying stroke in Anton's syndrome, especially helpful considering the discrepancy between the patient's perception and clinical examination results.
