VeRSE: Vertical Reading Strategy Efficacy for Homonymous Hemianopia after Stroke: A Feasibility Study

Only registered users can translate articles

Aim: To conduct a feasibility study using vertical reading for stroke survivors with homonymous hemianopia. Feasibility objectives included assessing the appropriateness of testing methods, outcomes and amount of recruitment possible.

Bilateral superior altitudinal hemianopia: missing the goal, but hitting the stroke cause.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bilateral superior altitudinal hemianopia is an uncommon clinical presentation of ischemic stroke. We report a patient who had an ischemic stroke with a pure bilateral superior altitudinal hemianopia resulting from bilateral ischemia in the optic radiation. This symptom was first overlooked and a

Intravenous thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients with isolated homonymous hemianopia.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Patients with posterior ischemic stroke were usually excluded from thrombolytic treatment in clinical trials and clinical practice, and little is known about effectiveness of thrombolysis treatment in such patients who may end up with severe disability. OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the

A Randomised Controlled Trial of Treatment for Post-Stroke Homonymous Hemianopia: Screening and Recruitment.

Only registered users can translate articles

The authors report the screening process and recruitment figures for the VISION (Visual Impairment in Stroke; Intervention Or Not) trial. This is a prospective, randomised, single-blinded, three-arm controlled trial in 14 UK acute hospital stroke units. Stroke teams identified stroke survivors

Group B streptococcus endogenous endophthalmitis presenting as septic arthritis and a homonymous hemianopsia due to embolic stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To report a case of group B streptococcus (GBS) endogenous endophthalmitis in a patient presenting with septic arthritis and a homonymous hemianopsia due to embolic stroke. METHODS Observational case report. METHODS A 75-year-old woman with septic arthritis and a homonymous hemianopsia due

Time since stroke influences the impact of hemianopia and spatial neglect on visual-spatial tasks.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Spatial neglect results in an ipsilesional misorientation of attention in visual-spatial tasks. Hemianopia impairs visual perception but its influence on visual-spatial tasks is subject to debate. Here, we investigated the influence of the time since stroke on the respective impacts of

Functional improvements following the use of the NVT Vision Rehabilitation program for patients with hemianopia following stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

The incidence of visual deficits following stroke ranges from 20%-68% and has significant impact on activities of daily living. The NVT system is a compensatory visual scanning training program that consists of combined static and mobility training and transfer to activities of daily living. The

Efficiency of Rarebit perimetry in the evaluation of homonymous hemianopia in stroke patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficiency of Rarebit perimetry and the Humphrey field analyser (HFA) in detecting the homonymous hemianopia in stroke patients with occipital lobe infarcts. METHODS 40 patients who suffered from visual complaints caused by acute occipital lobe infarcts underwent visual

A randomised controlled trial to compare the clinical and cost-effectiveness of prism glasses, visual search training and standard care in patients with hemianopia following stroke: a protocol.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Homonymous hemianopia is a common and disabling visual problem after stroke. Currently, prism glasses and visual scanning training are proposed to improve it. The aim of this trial is to determine the effectiveness of these interventions compared to standard care. METHODS The trial will

Intravenous thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients with isolated homonymous hemianopia: analysis of Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-International Stroke Thrombolysis Register (SITS-ISTR).

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Hemianopia can cause considerable disability. Only scarce data are available for ischemic stroke patients presenting with isolated homonymous hemianopia and being treated with intravenous thrombolysis. We analyzed outcome of such patients registered in the Safe Implementation of

Eye-movement training-induced plasticity in patients with post-stroke hemianopia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Substantial disability in patients with hemianopia results from reduced visual perception. Previous studies have shown that these patients have impaired saccades. Improving exploratory eye movements with appropriate training of saccades may help to partially compensate for the visuoperceptive

Alternate-sided homonymous hemianopia as the solitary presentation of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome has various presentations. We report on a case of MELAS in which alternate-sided homonymous hemianopia was the main symptom of recurrent neurological defects. A 19-year-old woman suffered from blurred vision,

Vision-related quality of life in patients with complete homonymous hemianopia post stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The aim is to determine the characteristics of vision-specific quality of life restriction using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) and Veterans Affairs Low Vision Visual Function Questionnaire (VA LV VFQ-48) in patients with complete homonymous

Hemianopia after stroke: A randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of a standardised versus an individualized rehabilitation program, on scanning ability whilst walking1.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Homonymous hemianopia post-stroke reduces independence. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of a standardised program versus current individualized therapy in patients with homonymous hemianopia. METHODS Single-blind randomized controlled trial, 24 patients (54% male), mean age

Middle cerebral artery strokes causing homonymous hemianopia: positron emission tomography.

Only registered users can translate articles

Eight patients were evaluated with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography between 3 and 30 days after isolated stroke involving the middle cerebral artery territory that caused homonymous hemianopia. Diffuse hypometabolism was present throughout the damaged cerebral hemisphere, even in
