What Causes Loss of Vision in One Half of the Visual Field? Hemianopsia is a loss of vision in half of the visual field of one eye or both eyes. Common causes are stroke, brain tumor, and trauma to the brain. Normally, the left half of the brain receives vision from the right eye, and vice versa....

Visual Field Defects Difficulties. 1  The most common is the patient's (or your) eye drifting away from the nose. 2  This technique compares the patient's visual field with yours, so it assumes normal examiner visual fields. 3  Visual fields in infants can be crudely assessed by making use of their involuntary fixational reflexes.

Hemianopsia A Heteronymous hemianopsia is the loss of half of the visual field on different sides in both eyes. It is separated into two categories: Binasal hemianopsia – the loss of the fields surrounding the nose; Bitemporal hemianopsia – the loss of the fields closest to the temples. Other forms

Optic nerve 1 Damage to the optic nerve anterior to the optic chiasm causes loss of vision in the eye on the same side as the damage. 2  Damage at the optic chiasm typically causes loss of vision laterally in both visual fields (bitemporal hemianopsia).n humans, the optic nerve extends from the optic disc to the optic chiasm and continues as the optic tract to the lateral geniculate nucleus, pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus.

Inferior parietal lobule Destruction to the inferior parietal lobule of the dominant hemisphere results in Gerstmann's syndrome: right-to-left confusion, finger agnosia, dysgraphia and dyslexia, dyscalculia, contralateral hemianopia, or lower quadrantanopia.estruction to the inferior parietal lobule of the non-dominant hemisphere results in topographic memory loss, anosognosia, construction apraxia, dressing apraxia, contralateral sensory neglect, contralateral hemianopia, or lower quadrantanopia.

Bitemporal hemianopsia Bitemporal hemianopsia. Bitemporal hemianopsia (or Bitemporal hemianopia) is the medical description of a type of partial blindness where vision is missing in the outer half of both the right and left visual field. It is usually associated with lesions of the optic chiasm, the area where the optic nerves from the right and left eyes cross near the pituitary gland.

Transient Vision Loss (TVL) Posttraumatic transient cortical blindness is thought to be due to transient hypoxia and cerebral dysfunction.In these cases, vision returns to normal within minutes to hours, with no permanent neurologic sequelae. Occasionally, transient visual loss is familial.

Binasal hemianopsia The visual field of each eye can be divided in two vertically, with the outer half being described as temporal, and the inner half being described as nasal. Binasal hemianopsia can be broken down as follows: bi-: involves both left and right visual fields.

- Complete homonymous hemianopsia means the entire half of the visual field is impaired. Hemianopsias, however, are often incomplete. Depending on the location of the lesion and the type of injury some areas within the loss may be less impaired.

- Loss of the left half of the visual field accompanies left hemiplegia, and loss of right visual field accompanies right hemiplegia. As mentioned previously, balance is maintained by an intricate communication network among the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems.

- A lesion in the LEFT occipital lobe would cause right homonymous hemianopsia (loss of vision in both right visual fields). Pupillary reaction to light (CN 2, 3) : The afferent arm of this reflex is CN2 (optic nerve) and the efferent arm is parasympathetic components of CN3 (oculomotor nerve).

- Macular sparing results when a hemianopsia causes a loss of visual field, which leaves a small area of functioning vision on the side of the loss at the center of our vision. This may be only a few degrees but may help the patient see full words or detect the start or end of the line in reading.

Treatment for Loss of Depth Perception Depth perception is very complex, but it is not literally age-related. Depth perception is most helpful for tasks performed within 30 inches of our eyes. The two major causes of altered depth perception are reduced vision in one or both eyes, and secondly, eye muscle weakness. If the loss of depth perception involves literal double vision, neurological disorders must be considered.

Retinal Detachment The retina works with the cornea, lens, and other parts of your eye and brain to produce normal vision. Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of your eye. This causes loss of vision that can be partial or total, depending on how much of the retina is detached. When your retina becomes detached, its cells may be seriously deprived of oxygen. Retinal detachment is a medical emergency.

- A) Damage to the premotor cortex results in loss of motor skills programmed in that area but movement is still possible. B) Damage to the primary auditory cortex results in the inability to interpret pitch, loudness, and location. C) Damage to the primary motor cortex results only in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and reflexes. D) Damage to the visual association area can result in blindness.

hemianopsia Right homonymous hemianopia is a loss of vision in the temporal half of the visual field of the right eye and the nasal half of the visual field of the left eye. Common causes are occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery (stroke), trauma and tumours. See macular sparing.

Visual Field Defects in Patients With Pituitary Adenomas The most common objective manifestations of pituitary adenoma are visual, including impairment of a visual field and loss of acuity. The characteristic visual field defect caused by pituitary adenomas with suprasellar extension is bitemporal hemianopsia.

- H Homonymous visual field defects are the result of a retrochiasmal lesion. Lesions of the optic tract and the lateral geniculate body. Because the nerve fibers are concentrated in a very small space, the visual field defect that occurs typically in these lesions is homonymous hemianopsia.

What Is a Stroke? Therefore a stroke, lesion, or injury at the point where the nasal fibers from each eye cross (where the fibers make an X, called the optic chiasm), would cause loss of the right visual field in the right eye and loss of the left visual field in the left eye.

Occipital Lobes Damage to one side of the occipital lobe causes homonomous loss of vision with exactly the same field cut in both eyes. Disorders of the occipital lobe can cause visual hallucinations and illusions. Visual hallucinations (visual images with no external stimuli) can be caused by lesions to the occipital region or temporal lobe seizures.

Learn how UpToDate can help you. Homonymous hemianopia is a visual field defect involving either the two right or the two left halves of the visual fields of both eyes. It is caused by lesions of the retrochiasmal visual pathways, ie, lesions of the optic tract, the lateral geniculate nucleus, the optic radiations, and the cerebral visual (occipital) cortex (figure 1) [1-4].
