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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
