Visual Impairment (1553/1700)

A 50yo man with a known hx of stroke is unable to get out of his house because he can’t find where the door is. He refuses help from his wife and says he is not blind. What is the single most likely defect?
a. Paracentral scotoma
b. Tunnel vision
c. Total blindness
d. Central scotoma
e. Cortical blindness




































Answer: E

Given the history of stroke and no specific signs of the other options, it would make most sense for him to have a neurological cause for his visual impairment.
