Demyelinating Lesion Isolated to the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
نویسنده
چکیده
Symptomatic retrochiasmatic lesions due to demyelinating disease are rare in multiple sclerosis. The most common cause of visual disturbance in multiple sclerosis is optic neuritis which typically presents with pain around the eye that worsens with movement, dyschromatopsia and monocular decreased visual acuity. We describe a patient who presented with bilateral blurry vision who was found to have a left congruous homonymous sectoranopia due to a right lateral geniculate nucleus demyelinating lesion.

Histological and Biochemical Alterations in the Superior Colliculus and Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of Juvenile Rats Following Prenatal Exposure to Marijuana Smoke
Prenatal exposure to marijuana has been associated with a variety of brain deficits, as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its main active ingredient crosses the placenta and affects foetal brain development. Despite this effect, marijuana remains a commonly abused substance among pregnant women. In the current study, we examined the histological and biochemical changes in the superior colliculus (...
متن کاملLesions of the optic radiations mimicking lateral geniculate nucleus visual field defects.
Three patients were found to have visual field defects which involved homonymous horizontal sectors of the visual fields, thus mimicking field defects associated with lesions of the lateral geniculate nucleus. Computed tomography provided anatomical evidence that the responsible lesion involved the optic radiations rather than the lateral geniculate nucleus.

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of dark rearing immediately after birth on the maturation of the visual relay neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus. METHODS Fifty neonatal rats were used. Neonates of the control groups were raised under a normal light/dark cycle. Neonates of the experiment groups were dark reared and isolated from light during the entire experimental period, then expose...
متن کاملVisualization of the Medial and Lateral Geniculate Nucleus on Phase Difference Enhanced Imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The precise identification and measurement of the medial geniculate nucleus and lateral geniculate nucleus on MR imaging remain technically challenging because the thalamic nuclei are small structures. We compared the visualization of the medial geniculate nucleus and lateral geniculate nucleus on phase difference enhanced imaging with 3D high-resolution phase imaging, 2D...
متن کاملReciprocal Connections Between Cortex and Thalamus Contribute to Retinal Axon Targeting to Dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus.
The dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (dLGN) is the primary image-forming target of the retina and shares a reciprocal connection with primary visual cortex (V1). Previous studies showed that corticothalamic input is essential for the development of thalamocortical projections, but less is known about the potential role of this reciprocal connection in the development of retinal projections. He...
