Sectorial optic atrophy and homonymous, horizontal sectoranopia: a lateral choroidal artery syndrome?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two patients with sectorial optic atrophy and homonymous, horizontal sectoranopia are described. Neuroradiological investigations localised the visual pathway lesion to the lateral geniculate body. The peculiar nature of the field defect and the optic atrophy appeared explicable in terms of ischaemia in the territory of the lateral choroidal artery.

Quadruple sectoranopia and sectorial optic atrophy: a syndrome of the distal anterior choroidal artery.
Loss of upper and lower homonymous sectors in the visual field, and wasting of corresponding sectors in the retinal nerve fibre layer, followed ligation of the distal part of the anterior choroidal artery in a patient with a meningioma of the velum interpositum. Clinical and radiological evidence indicated that the visual pathway was damaged within that part of the lateral geniculate body that ...
متن کاملHomonymous horizontal sectoranopia: report of four cases.
Four cases of right homonymous horizontal sectoranopia are described. They were investigated with automatic static perimetry matched in three cases with Goldmann perimetry. In two cases--a wound of lateral sinus, a temporal surgically excised oligo-dendroglioma--neuroradiological investigations localised the visual pathways lesion to the optic radiations. In two other cases the lesions of vascu...
متن کاملDemyelinating Lesion Isolated to the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
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 h...
متن کاملVisual field defects in vascular lesions of the lateral geniculate body.
Corresponding retinal nerve fibres begin their path in the eyes and end in a single visual cortical cell. Because of this arrangement, lesions in the anterior visual pathway produce incongruent visual field defects and in the posterior pathway congruent field defects. The lateral geniculate body is on the anterior third of the visual pathway. A lesion of this nucleus produces moderately to comp...
متن کاملRight anterior choroidal artery syndrome: revisited.
A 72-year-old male with hypertension and an old-leftmiddle-cerebral-artery (MCA) stroke presented with symptoms of left-sided hemiparesis, left facial drop, leftsided neglect syndrome, and left-partial homonymous hemianopia. Symptoms were suggestive of a right MCA infarct; however, advanced neuroimaging was inconclusive. Conventional diagnostic angiogram of the right internal carotid artery (IC...
