Bilateral lesion of the occipital lobe in the area of calcarine sulcus

The article described a patient with bilateral lesion of the occipital lobe in the area of calcarine sulcus. The highly informative qualities and precision of modern methods of examination such as perimetry, electrophysiologic examination, optical coherent tomography, computed and magnetic resonance tomography were shown. Thanks to these methods the correct stage-by-stage diagnostics of the level of visual analyzer lesion is possible. Probable nosologic forms in the described symptomatology (Minamata's disease, hemolytic ovalocytic anemia) were analyzed.
