Abstract
A 55-year old male, a patient with established glaucoma, presented with worsening of visual complaints. Field analysis revealed an apparent progression of the pre-existing field changes. A possible overlap of a neurological field defect was however suspected. Computerised tomogram (CT) revealed an acute vascular event in the territory of the middle cerebral artery. Mistaking the new field defect as a sign of glaucoma progression, would have resulted in missing the cerebrovascular accident, with a possible ominous outcome. Careful interpretation of visual fields (especially in those with pre-existing field defects), is therefore, a must in every given clinical scenario.
