Congenital homonymous hemianopia. 1976

F J Bajandas, and J B Mcbeath, and J L Smith

We reviewed eight cases of congenital homonymous hemianopia to emphasize the features that may help the clinician to diagnose a congenital disease. The patients were usually unaware of the visual field defect. The hemianopia was usually congruous when incomplete and the opticokinetic nystagmus had a normal pattern. Associated congenital ocular and neurologic abnormalities were common. Clinically recognizable atrophy or hypoplasia of the optic disk was found in all but one of the patients. There was often a history of neonatal or gestational difficulties followed by emotional, behavioral, and learning problems without mental retardation.

D009901	Optic Nerve Diseases	Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.

D006423	Hemianopsia	Partial or complete loss of vision in one half of the visual field(s) of one or both eyes. Subtypes include altitudinal hemianopsia, characterized by a visual defect above or below the horizontal meridian of the visual field. Homonymous hemianopsia refers to a visual defect that affects both eyes equally, and occurs either to the left or right of the midline of the visual field. Binasal hemianopsia consists of loss of vision in the nasal hemifields of both eyes. Bitemporal hemianopsia is the bilateral loss of vision in the temporal fields. Quadrantanopsia refers to loss of vision in one quarter of the visual field in one or both eyes.
