Homonymous Hemianopia, Occipital Lobe, Homonymous Hemianopic Scotoma | |
The scotomatous defects seen in this Goldmann visual field do not respect the vertical meridian. Nevertheless, several features unequivocally identify them as homonymous hemianopic scotomas: 1) they occupy corresponding halves of the visual field (i.e., the temporal hemifield OD and the nasal hemifield OS); 2) their locations in the field correspond exactly; and 3) their size and shape are such that they are virtually superimposable. This patient suffered closed head trauma associated with a contrecoup injury of the left occipital lobe. | |
