Visual Field

Pathway
seen on nasal - projected
onto temporal field

optic chiasm - nasal fibres

from both cross atn

in front of chiasm - are

going to get monocular field
loss, behind - bilateral
if cut all - same as D - homoneous hemaniopia
Visual Field Defects
 optic nerve lesion

nasal fibre optic chiasm

cutting nasal fibres most common cause - pit adneoma

optic tract stroke nasal hemian.

temporal hemian.

inferior optic radiation (temporal lobe)

stroke/space occup

superior optic radiation(parietal lobe)

temporal fibres = nasal hemianopia ipsilat

only loses depth perception
What is this defect called?
Where is the lesion?
What could cause this lesion?
Left homonymous hemianopia
Lesion affecting the right optic radiation
Most common cause is a Stroke

it is exactly what you see when talking about the visual defect - not same as
optic tract - rifght
What is this defect called?
Where is the lesion?
What could cause this lesion?
 Bitemporal hemianopia
Lesion of the optic chiasm
Most common cause is a pituitary mass
damaging nasal that projects onto
temporal
What is this defect called?
Where is the lesion?
What could cause this lesion?
Right superior homonymous quadrantanopia
Lesion of the left inferior optic tract (Meyers loop/temporal lobe)
Most common cause is a Stroke
 right
left

What defect would a

lesion here produce?
monocular vision loss

total right eye loss

cause: trauma, optic neuritis, stroke
What defect would a
lesion here produce?
how can tell which is cutting thru?
sup/inf?
same as optic tract so contralateral hemianopia
