Hemianopsia Bitemporal

What is hemianopia?

***Hemianopia is a violation of the visual function of the organ, covering half the visual field.***

In this case, a certain portion of the image is lost that falls into the patient’s field of view. When examining the visible area from several sides of the symmetrical part of the eye, various disorders of the bitemporal or binasal type are noted.

Depending on the location of the affected area, this phenomenon is diagnosed as bitemporal or binocular. In both cases, we are talking about maintaining the clarity of the image of one half on the opposite side.

What is bitemporal hemianopic syndrome? The conditions leading to the appearance of this pathology are serious disruptions in the functioning of the brain system and the structures of the eye analyzer. The basis of the syndrome is persistent disruptions in the functioning of the visual cortex. Occurs when the temporal region of the head is damaged in the posterior and anterior lower regions. Perhaps this is due to inflammatory processes of aseptic and infectious type in these areas. In addition, reasons may include

Bitemporal hemianopia (right- or left-sided) is a form of visual impairment characterized by partial loss of vision in the right or left visual field. This occurs due to damage to the visual pathway or visual fields located directly behind the eyes. Hemianopic hemianesthesia results in weakness of the superior portion of one facial nerve and may be accompanied by paralysis of the opposite side of the face. Hemianopia is the complete loss of half the visual field. With this disorder, the patient can see or recognize only half of the object in front of his eyes (the surrounding half), the rest of the object is inaccessible to him. In the early stages, there is no light adaptation in half the visual field, which is defined as a scotoma. In relation to the blind half of the field, a scotoma is noted
