Palinopsia in a Patient with an Acute Occipital Lobe Stroke (P4.369)

Discussion: Palinopsia is the persistence or recurrence of visual images after the visual stimulus has been removed. Palinopsia can be further subtyped with one of the categories being scene perseveration, where a formed scene may continuously replay for a length of time either superimposed in a visual field or in place of an impaired visual field. There have been rare other cases described with right hemispheric strokes causing similar phenomena of scene perseveration. Our case is unique that in previously reported literature, it was very rare to have isolated palinopsia without hemianopsia (1 out of 32 patients in one study).Disclosure: Dr. Weber has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ma has nothing to disclose. Dr. Slivka has nothing to disclose.
