“…Thus the use of multifocal electrophysiological techniques may be useful in the diagnosis of some diseases such as acute zonal occult outer retinopathy or functional deficits. 14 In the present study, all patients were evaluated retrospectively from a large database and only five cases meeting criteria were eventually selected for a more detailed analysis, although a case report or a small case series has been previously reported. We had created the following checklist for a differential diagnosis used to assess patients with visual field defects respecting the vertical meridian that could not be attributed to distinct chiasmal or postchiasmal lesions: Neurologists and neuro-ophthalmologists should consider the differential diagnosis mentioned above in patients with visual field defects respecting the vertical meridian if MRI is negative for distinct lesions in the optic chiasm or the postchiasmal visual pathway.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
