The premise of neuro-rehabilitation after injury is to access the residual capacity of the nervous system to improve function. We describe a patient who developed a quadrantopsia and drug-resistant
focal epilepsy
after an arteriovenous malformation hemorrhage. Thirty years later, he underwent placement of subdural electrodes for seizure mapping.
Phosphenes
were elicited in the blind right visual field with stimulation of occipital cortex. This case demonstrates that visual cortex may retain functional organization after a partial subcortical visual pathway injury. This persistent conscious mapping suggests that disconnected visual cortex could serve as a region for interfacing with neural prosthetic devices for acquired blindness.
