Light at the End of the Tunnel: Improvement of Post-Stroke Visual Field Defect after Open-Label Navigated Perilesional rTMS

Cortical visual field defects (cVFD) usually show a narrow window of recovery not exceeding a few months. In some studies recovery was mostly in the first 10 days of insult followed by decrease in recovery rate that nearly plateaus 10-12 weeks after insult, and only 5% of patients will show full recovery of their visual field [1 –5].
