Detection of post-stroke visual field loss by quantification of the retrogeniculate visual pathway

This study explored the association between the microstructural integrity of the retrogeniculate pathway and visual field loss in disabling stroke patients undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Thirty patients with stroke lesions involving the retrogeniculate visual pathway were included. The degree of visual field loss was determined by the visual field index and mean deviation using automated perimetry.
