Abstract

Seven patients, each with a different pattern of homonymous visual loss caused by ischemic infarction of the occipital lobe, were studied with computed tomography. The retinotopic representation of the visual field on the occipital lobes, as determined by these studies, fully confirms those deduced by previous investigators.
