Two case reports of intracranial hemorrhage near the lateral geniculate body

Abstract

Several reports have been published that state that homonymous hemianopsia or quadrantanopia is observed when the lateral geniculate body of the opposite side is disturbed. We experienced 2 cases of intracranial hemorrhage near the lateral geniculate body, one of which caused congruent and the other caused incongruent quadrantanopia. We show these cases and then discuss the relationship between intracranial hemorrhage near the lateral geniculate body, and visual disturbance caused by them.
