Idiopathic binasal hemianopia: case report and literature review.

A 56-year-old lady was referred for complete binasal hemianopia noticed during routine glaucoma screening. On examination the patient was asymptomatic, there were no ophthalmic causes explaining her visual field defect and further neurologic investigation was normal. Binasal hemianopia is an uncommon finding that is usually associated to intraocular conditions, but may rarely be caused by neurologic diseases. The Authors also review the current ophthalmic literature about binasal hemianopia in patients with otherwise complete neurologic and ophthalmic investigation (idiopathic binasal hemianopia).
