We report a case of brain infarction in the anterior choroidal artery territory accompanied homonymous scotomas. A 59-year-old man with diabetes mellitus felt weakness in his left upper and lower extremities. He was admitted to our hospital with mild hemiparesis on his left side. He noticed a small
A 58-year-old woman suddenly noticed that soccer players disappeared and emerged in right inferior portion of her vision while she was watching soccer game on TV. She was admitted in our hospital on the day 9. Goldman perimeter revealed strange formed hemianopic soctomas which located at right side
A 65-year-old man had an embolic stroke of both posterior cerebral arteries in 2002. Two years later he noted rapid improvement of the residual bilateral inferior quadrant anopia whenever he took 25 mg sildenafil. The improvement of scotomas was verified by visual field examinations and persisted
BACKGROUND
We present a long term follow-up of a young female patient with choroidal infarction, primary open angle glaucoma and Flammer syndrome. The patient had no classical risk factors for vascular occlusions, except for the presence of Flammer syndrome. The essential feature of this syndrome is
A 60-year-old man presented with the chief complaint of seeing a blurred area just up and to the left of the center of his vision. The patient noted this visual field defect immediately after he awoke from a cardiac electrophysiologic study with a catheter ablation procedure. On neuro-ophthalmologic
We report a patient presenting with incongruous homonymous hemianopic scotoma due to infarction in the territory of the lateral posterior choroidal artery. Imaging studies showed that the patient had a fresh infarct in the lateral geniculate body causing this unusual visual field defect.
Four cases with isolated cerebral infarction near the occipital pole resulting in homonymous hemianopic paracentral scotoma showed loss of pupillomotor sensitivity within the scotomatous defects. This supports previous similar findings in patients with homonymous hemianopia due to larger infarctions
We reported a case where scintillating scotoma was the first and only symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient was diagnosed as having classic migraine and was given cafergot and phenytoin with no effect. During this treatment, severe myocardial infarction occurred and SLE was found to
An 85-year-old man presented with temporal headache and bilateral paracentral scotomas. Clinical examination, laboratory testing, and temporal artery biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis. Fluorescein angiography illustrated Amalric triangular choroidal infarction of the left eye.
A 45-year-old man of bilateral occipital infarction with central homonymous hemianopia is reported. He was admitted to our hospital with complaints of visual loss and large central scotoma on both eyes. Pupillary light reaction and ocular fundi were normal. On admission, bilateral retrobulbar optic
METHODS
A 29-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with an acute right-sided hemiplegia and sensory disorders, as well as upper right quadrant anopsia. There were no other significant abnormalities. She had previously been healthy and was free of any predisposing risk factors for thromboembolism.
Acute left homonymous hemianopia and recurrent scintillating scotoma occurred in a 43-year-old woman due to metastases from a cutaneous malignant melanoma that had been resected 5 years previously. Computed tomography initially demonstrated small, probably embolic, areas of occipital lobe
Cecocentral scotomas are a hallmark of toxic, metabolic, and hereditary optic neuropathies, but are rarely associated with compressive processes. Acute visual loss due to a compressive optic neuropathy by a benign tumor is unusual unless intratumoral hemorrhage or infarction occurs. A case of acute,
We reported a 31 year-old man with repeated episodes of migraine at a frequency of about once a week on and after January, 2000. In January 2001, scintillating scotoma and pulsating headache appeared followed by left hemianopsia. His platelet count decreased to 80,000/microliter and high intensity
To report the clinical findings and management of a case of occipital lobe infarction with homonymous quadrantanopia in a patient treated with vitamins and coenzyme Q10.Observations
A currently 69-years-old patient presenting in 2007 left inferior
