Abstract

A 51-year-old woman complained that her right side of the face looked blurring and the right margin of all the objects in her visual field looked blurred. Neurological examination on admission showed no abnormalities including higher cortical function and visual fields except the metamorphopsia. In this case, a very localized spotty infarct caused no neurological symptoms other than the metamorphopsia. CT scan and MRI revealed a spotty lesion of infarct between retrosplenium and cingulate gyrus on the left side. This can be a breakthrough case to locate the exact anatomic pathology that causes metamorphopsia.
