Traumatic homonymous hemianopsia associated with a juxtasellar hematoma after acute closed head injury.
A case is reported in which homonymous hemianopsia associated with a juxtasellar hematoma occurred as a result of an acute closed head injury. The homonymous hemianopsia, which was considerably improved with conservative therapy, is suggested to have been due to vascular insufficiency or edema, or both in the region of the optic tract.
