Accuracy of Visual Fields in Localizing MRI Lesions in Posterior Cerebral Artery Infarction

Conclusion: In this study of PCA ischemic stroke, VFDs limited to 1 hemifield were accurate in locating the side and quadrant of the MRI visual cortex lesions. However, the quadrantic VFDs sometimes failed to predict that the lesions involved both the superior and inferior quadrants on the same side, largely because those lesions had subtle imaging features that defied accurate radiologic assessment or were out of the reach of the visual field test protocol.
