Frequency and Characteristics of Visual Field Deficits after Surgery for Mesial Temporal Sclerosis Neurol 43:1235-1238, Tecoma,E.S.,et al, 1993 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In a series of patients undergoing tailored temporal lobe resection for mesial temporal sclerosis,the frequency of postoperative visual field deficit(VFD)was 52%.The size and configuration were similar after operation in the right and left hemispheres.We observed partial upper quandrantanopias in 16 of 28 patients who became seizure-free and in only one of five patients with residual seizures.VFDs may provide an independent measure of the functional extent of resection.
