Abstract
In 1987 in a follow-up study we reported on visual field defects with vascular damage of the geniculostriate pathway. This study included 37 cases with infarctions or hematomas and homonymous field defects or cortical blindness. Investigations were carried out in the first week after the event, and repeated 6 months, 1 year and 3 years after the stroke.
