| Description |
Since the vertical midline is respected in classic homonymous (HH) and bitemporal hemianopsia (BH), resulting loss of retinal ganglion cells should also stop at the vertical meridian in lesions of the optic tract or chiasm. However, anatomic labeling studies demonstrate retinal ganglion cell (RGC) soma located in the hemiretina that show 'spill-over' across the vertical meridian. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) was used to analyze whether the distribution of loss in the macula crosses this anatomic threshold in such patients. |
