Table 1

Visual field characteristics and etiology of brain injury of the participants.

Participant #	Age (years)	Visual field loss	Etiology^1	Verbatim report by neuroradiologist regarding the CT scan/MRI (size and location of the brain injury)	Years since injury
110	57	Left incomplete homonymous hemianopia with no macular sparing	CVA^2	Right PCA fusiform aneurysm abuts right optic tract. Right corona radiata infarct that is probably involving the right optic radiation or the LGN	2
115	79	Right incomplete homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing	CVA—left mesial occipital lobe	Old left occipital infarct involving the pole and most of the calcarine cortex	1
118	34	Right incomplete homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing	Arteriovenous malformation—left occipital lobe	Left occipital and medial temporal arteriovenous malformation with oedema surrounding it	17
135	41	Left complete homonymous hemianopia with no macular sparing	Trauma—multiple incidents of trauma associated with boxing career and assault	Probable right occipital encephalomalacia	>10
137	77	Left complete homonymous hemianopia with no macular sparing	CVA	Right posterior cerebral artery infarct involving most of the occipital lobe and part of medial temporal lobe	6
142	83	Left incomplete homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing	CVA	Old right posterior cerebral artery infarct sparing occipital pole; developed huge right posterior cerebral artery infarct	4
146	25	Left incomplete homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing	Tumor—craniopharyngioma treated by resection and radiation	Suprasellar craniopharyngioma compressing optic chiasm; oedema extends into optic tract bilaterally but right more than left involvement	1
150	31	Left complete homonymous hemianopia with no macular sparing	Right temporal lobectomy as treatment for epilepsy following trauma	Right temporal encephalomalacia due to craniotomy that extends into right optic tract and in optic radiation	10
151	66	Left incomplete homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing	CVA associated with cardiac surgery	Right occipital haematoma from AVM; oedema extended into parietal and temporal lobe radiations at the time but later resolved	2
154	43	Right incomplete homonymous hemianopia with no macular sparing	Trauma—parietal and occipital fractures; subarachnoid haemorrhage, from motor vehicle collision	Left posterior-inferior temporal encephalomalacia likely involving the left optic radiation; no occipital cortex involvement	7
158	55	Left complete homonymous hemianopia with no macular sparing	CVA associated with cardiac surgery	Right posterior cerebral infarct that involves medial temporal lobe and anterior aspect of the occipital lobe but partially spares the occipital lobe	3
159	77	Right incomplete homonymous hemianopia with no macular sparing	CVA—left occipital lobe	Left occipital infarct sparing much of the calcarine cortex	5
102	42	Right complete superior quadrantanopia	CVA secondary to vasospasm	Old left occipital and medial temporal lobe infarct (posterior cerebral artery) occipital lobe spared; right anterior temporal and superior frontal encephalomaacia; right postcentral gyrus old infarct	2
106	69	Left incomplete superior quadrantanopia	CVA—right medial temporal lobe and right external capsule	Right internal capsule posterior limb and uncus acute infarct that probably involves right optic tract	2
149	28	Right incomplete inferior quadrantanopia	Left parietal lobe brain tumor	Left parietal encephalomalacia due to tumour resection which extends into parietal optic radiation but spares occipital pole; no temporal lobe involvement	13
152	57	Left incomplete inferior quadrantanopia	Congenital brain abnormality	Small old right occipital infarct spares the occipital pole	Congenital
