We describe the occurrence of bilateral occipital cortical infarction following respiratory failure in two patients of differing ages. The precipitating factors, clinical manifestations, and ophthalmologic findings also differed, but the hypoxic effects on the cortex were the same as evidenced by the CT scanning studies.
