“…In his classical study of temporal lobe tumours Cushing (1921) found high incidence of homonymous defects in the upper quadrants of the visual fields suggesting a temporal looping. However, in an extensive study of visual disturbances in cases of temporal gliomas Edmund (1954) found the commonest change being a hemianopia (56 per cent), while a quadrantanopia occurred somewhat less frequently (21 per cent) and in 44 per cent normal fields were found. Traquair (1922) has pointed out that field defects attributed to interference with the temporal lobe may be due to, or modified by, pressure on the optic tract underlying the temporal lobe.…”

“…Previously the knowledge of the visual pathways was largely based on visual field defects observed in patients with tumours (e.g. Cushing 1922;Oldberg 1937;Edmund 1954) or with traumatic lesions, especially gun shot wounds, but in these patients the intracerebral lesion was seldom well-defined. In contrast to those lesions an anterior temporal lobectomy is a well-defined lesion.…”

A survey is presented of the ophthalmological findings in 74 patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, who underwent unilateral anterior temporal lobectomy 1960-1969 at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen. At follow-up, 1970-1971, one to ten years following the operation, 81% of the patients had no or only few seizures. Preoperatively 11% of the patients suffered from strabismus as compared to an expected frequency of 5%, but this trend just falls short of statistical significance. The visual acuity remained unchanged in all patients following the operation. Preoperatively a visual field defect was observed in 2 patients. At follow-up 51 patients had homonymous hemianopias, in 38 of them this was limited to the upper quadrants, and in 13 patients also included the lower quandrants, but was characterized as a total homonymous hemianopia in only 6 patients. The presence and extent of the visual field defects were correlated to surgical results, age at onset of epilepsy, age at operation, preoperative duration of epilepsy, presence of grand mal, preoperative complications, and neuropathological findings, but without observing any statistically significant conclusions. On the other hand, the extent of the postoperative visual field defect was significantly influenced by the side of the operation, with more and larger defects following right-sided lobectomies. In the 51 patients with postoperative hemianopias, this defect was either unobserved by the patient or regarded as a considerably less important handicap than the frequent and socially invalidating preoperative seizures...
