MRCP2-3555

A right-handed smoker in his 60s is referred by his general practitioner for assessment of likely stroke. His wife reports a sudden onset of left-sided weakness and bumping into objects on the left.

Upon examination, you observe left-sided motor weakness, sensory inattention, and a possible field defect. However, the patient’s restlessness prevents you from determining the field defect accurately. You admit him to the hospital and arrange for brain imaging. While waiting for imaging, the neuro-ophthalmology team evaluates him and formally plots his visual fields.

What type of visual field defect do you anticipate?
