Abstract A 62-year-old woman presented with a chronic left homonymous visual field defect because of a right occipital cyst. Serial visual field examination documented stable visual fields for 12 months, after which there was worsening of visual fields associated with enlargement of the cyst. Surgical decompression of the occipital cyst resulted in marked improvement of the visual field defect over 9 months. This case demonstrates that surgical decompression of cystic lesions adjacent to posterior visual pathways can result in recovery of chronic visual field loss.
