title: Congenital quadrantanopia with occipital lobe ganglioglioma.
abstract: A 24-year-old man with recent-onset seizures was found to have an occipital lobe ganglioglioma with homonymous quadrantanopia and trans-synaptic atrophy of retinal nerve fibers. This association indicates that gangliogliomas may arise during neural development and exist for many years before onset of symptoms.
