| Abstract |
The case of a 23-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and homonymous hemianopia is presented. A calcarine cortical infarct occurred as a result of a postpartal exacerbation of her disease and was demonstrated by CT scanning of the brain. The neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of SLE are reviewed briefly. The authors propose to include collagen vascular disease in the differential diagnosis of homonymous hemianopia in the young age group. |
