متن کاملField Expansion for Homonymous Hemianopia
Visual field loss following a cortical lesion from stroke, brain surgery, or head trauma frequently manifests as homonymous hemianopia. Hemianopic field loss causes problems in mobility and navigation as well as reading. Patients frequently complain of bumping into obstacles on the side of the field loss and getting bruised on their arms and legs. The number of such accidents decreases with ada...
