  • Title: A Giant Tumefactive Virchow-Robin Space: A Rare Cause of a Homonymous Quadrantanopia.
    Author: Rivet A, Gauthier AS, Chatain M, Billon-Grand R, Thines L, Delbosc B.
    Journal: J Neuroophthalmol; 2017 Mar; 37(1):75-76. PubMed ID: 28059864.
    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old woman was found to have a left inferior homonymous quadrantanopia. Brain MRI disclosed a giant Virchow-Robin space compressing the right optic tract. After fenestration of this cystic lesion, most of the visual field loss resolved. Giant Virchow-Robin spaces may cause homonymous field defects which, with appropriate management, may improve.
