nor consensually constriction in non-affected b) direct constriction when light is
shone in non-affected eye and consensually constriction by affected eye
VISUAL FIELD DEFECTS
VISUAL FIELD DEFECTS
VISUAL FIELD DEFECTS
1. Central scotoma - caused by inflammation of the optic disk (optic neuritis) or optic nerve
(retrobulbar neuritis)
2. Right Monocular vision loss - from a complete lesion of the right optic nerve
3. Bitemporal hemianopia - caused by pressure exerted on the optic chiasm by a pituitary
tumour
4. Right nasal hemianopia - caused by a perichiasmal lesion (eg. calcified internal carotid
artery)
5. Right homonymous hemianopia - from a lesion of the left optic tract
6. Right homonymous superior quadrantanopia - caused by partial involvement of the
optic radiation by a lesion in the left temporal lobe (Meyer’s loop)
7. Right homonymous inferior quadrantanopia - from partial involvement of the optic
radiation by a lesion in the left parietal lobe
8. Right homonymous hemianopia - from a complete lesion of the left optic radiation
9. Right homonymous hemianopia w/t macular sparing - caused by a posterior cerebral
artery occlusion
