Profile of stroke patients with cortical visual impairment in a tertiary care hospital.

Dr. Parvezalam M Tank, Dr. Sithara Sara Oomman

Abstract :

 Cortical visual impairment is a rare neurological disorder characterized by loss of vision due to damage to occipital cortex. Ischemic cereovascular disease is the most common etiology. There may be partial or complete recovery of visual function depending on the underlying damage. Possibility of cortical visual impairment should be kept in mind, in case of any atypical visual loss. All stroke patients should undergo a mandatory ophthalmological examination irrespective of whether they complain of vision loss or not.
