Quadrantanopia

Quadrantanopia is vision loss in a quarter of the visual field. This defect usually involves both eyes; however, a single eye can also be affected. It is caused by a lesion, injury, or problem past the optic chiasma (optic nerves crossing) in the brain lobes. Strokes can also lead to quadrantanopia. Spontaneous vision and recovery are usually seen within the first six months after the stroke or treatment of the lesion. Unfortunately, the visual field loss has no cure other than spontaneous recovery.
