چکیده

Bilateral homonymous hemianopia occurred in 15 patients seen during a four-year period. Persons with this visual deficit had similarly shaped visual field defects on corresponding sides of the vertical midline for each eye, equal visual acuity which is generally normal, and normal pupil and fundus examinations. The most common causes of the bilateral posterior cerebral artery insufficency were arteriosclerosis (40%), uncalherniation (20%), and migraine (13%).

Spectrum of transient visual symptoms in a transient ischemic attack cohort.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transient visual symptoms (TVS) are common complaints. They can be related to transient ischemic attacks, but the nature of the symptoms often remains uncertain, and data on prognosis are scarce. We studied the prevalence, presentation, and effect of different types of TVS, paying particular attention to the association with high-risk pathology of embolism. METHODS A to...

"Crossed homonymous hemianopia" and "crossed left hemispatial neglect" in a case of Marchiafava-Bignami disease.

"Crossed homonymous hemianopia" and "crossed left hemispatial neglect" were observed in a woman with Marchiafava-Bignami disease. Two forms of "crossed homonymous hemianopia" were observed. Initially, Goldmann perimeter testing showed a left homonymous hemianopia with the right hand and vice versa. Later, confrontation tests showed a left homonymous hemianopia, whereas visual field testing usin...

Bilateral functional MRI activation of the basal ganglia and middle temporal/medial superior temporal motion-sensitive areas: optokinetic stimulation in homonymous hemianopia.

OBJECTIVE To determine to what extent sensorimotor control is achieved for each hemisphere separately or interactively during small-field optokinetic stimulation in patients with complete homonymous hemianopia. DESIGN Functional and structural neuroimaging using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. SETTING University medical center research facility. PATIENTS Three patients with co...

Torsional anomalous retinal correspondence effectively expands the visual field in hemianopia.

PURPOSE Exotropia in congenital homonymous hemianopia has been reported to provide field expansion that is more useful when accompanied with harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence (HARC). Torsional strabismus with HARC provides a similar functional advantage. In a subject with hemianopia demonstrating a field expansion consistent with torsion, we documented torsional strabismus and torsion...
