Inferior cortical altitudinal hemianopia: report of a case.
A case of bilateral inferior altitudinal hemianopia of cortical origin is reported. Although bilateral altitudinal hemianopias can be caused by more or less symmetrical involvement of visual pathways, it is shown how only three sites of these pathways are likely to be responsible for altitudinal hemianopias in human pathology.
