We discuss the case of a patient with a known history of relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) who presented with the isolated complaint of altered visual perception in the absence of abnormalities on ophthalmological examination. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first documented case of both facial metamorphopsia and palinopsia occurring as the symptoms of demyelinating brain lesions consistent with an acute MS exacerbation. These symptoms appear to be related to active demyelination that either involved the optic radiations in the visual pathway or the visual association area in the temporo-occipital region of the left hemisphere.

There is evidence that some visual information in blind regions may still be processed in patients with hemifield defects after cerebral lesions (“blindsight”). We tested the hypothesis that, in the absence of retinogeniculostriate processing, residual retinotectal processing may still be detected as modifications of saccades to seen targets by irrelevant distractors in the blind hemifield. Six patients were presented with distractors in the blind and intact portions of their visual field and participants were instructed to make eye movements to targets in the intact field. Eye movements were recorded to determine if blind-field distractors caused deviation in saccadic trajectories. No deviation was found in one patient with an optic chiasm lesion, which affect both retinotectal and retinogeniculostriate pathways. In five patients with lesions of the optic radiations or the striate cortex, the results were mixed, with two of the five patients showing significant deviations of saccadic trajectory away from the “blind” distractor. In a second experiment, two of the five patients were tested with the target and the distractor more closely aligned. Both patients showed a “global effect,” in that saccades deviated toward the distractor, but the effect was stronger in the patient who also showed significant trajectory deviation in the first experiment. Although our study confirms that distractor effects on saccadic trajectory can occur in patients with damage to the retinogeniculostriate visual pathway but preserved retinotectal projections, there remain questions regarding what additional factors are required for these effects to manifest themselves in a given patient.
