Question 3

Which ONE of the following visual problems is commonly seen when an inferior cortical branch of the MCA is occluded on the right side?

a. Inability to see objects in the lower half of the visual fields with either eye
b. Inability to see objects in the temporal parts of the visual field with either eye (bitemporal hemianopsia)
c. Inability to see objects in the upper left visual fields with either eye (incomplete left homonymous hemianopsia)
d. Inability to see objects in the upper right visual fields with either eye (incomplete right homonymous hemianopsia)

Answer to Question 3

Correct Answer:

c. Inability to see objects in the upper left visual fields with either eye (incomplete left homonymous hemianopsia)

Additional Information:

The inferior cortical branch of the MCA supplies the optic radiations, particularly fibers (Meyer's Loop) that represent information from the contralateral superior visual quadrants.
