Bilateral homonymous visual field defects as initial manifestation of multiple sclerosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Symptomatic suprageniculate lesions in multiple sclerosis expressed as a visual field defect are infrequent. The present case developed a bilateral homonymous defect as the initial and unique symptom of the disease. It was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, which disclosed extensive demyelinating areas in both optic nerve radiations. The mode of onset, perimetric findings, and unusual presentation of this condition are briefly discussed.

متن کاملBilateral homonymous hemianopia.
Bilateral homonymous hemianopia occurred in 15 patients seen during a four-year period. Persons with this visual deficit had similarly shaped visual field defects on corresponding sides of the vertical midline for each eye, equal visual acuity which is generally normal, and normal pupil and fundus examinations.

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...
