🌓🤪 Pac-Man ate my visual fields!
50 year old person presents with sudden onset headache and seeing "pieces of things" on the R.
Visual fields look like this👇👇

🗺️🧠 Where across the visual system is likely the lesion?
#Ophthalmology
#Ophthalmology
⭕️ Which artery has to be implicated, if this presentation is due to an ischemic #stroke and the rest of the neuro exam is normal?
➡️Answers:
- L lateral geniculate body (LGB): a highly organized, layered retinotopic structure
- L. Lat. post. choroidal a. infarct (PCA branch)
PAC-man visual field defects=wedge shaped
aka "homonymous sectoranopsias"

Here is another nice case, this time of quadruple sectoranopia due to LGB infarct
