An Unusual Cause of Visual Loss: Involvement of Bilateral Geniculate Bodies
AJNR 25:1544-1548, Lefebvre,P.R.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
We conclude that shock may induce a bilateral isolated ischemia of the lateral geniculate bodies, resulting in incongruous binasal and bitemporal visual field defects and severe visual loss. MR imaging is the optimal imaging technique to confirm the diagnosis and for follow-up.
