  • Title: Monocular temporal hemianopia in a young patient.
    Author: Acaroğlu G, Güven A, Ileri D, Zilelioğlu O.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2004; 46(1):98-100. PubMed ID: 15074385.
    Abstract:
    A 12-year-old girl presented with a history of sudden visual hemi-field loss in the left eye. The visual field defect was a clear-cut temporal hemianopia in the left eye; eye was normal. Complete eye examination and neuro-imaging of brain and opto-chiasmal region revealed normal structural findings. The visual field defect was suspected to be non-organic. This assumption was proven to be the diagnosis when simultaneous binocular fields showed the same pattern, although the contralateral eye's nasal hemi-field was intact. This symptom was alleviated by reassurance and placebo treatment.
