Homonymous hemianopsia is a condition in which a person sees only one side ― right or left ― of the visual world of each eye. The condition results from a problem in brain function rather than a disorder of the eyes themselves. Appointments 216.444.2020.
Left hemianopia, which causes a loss of vision in the left half of each eye. Superior hemianopia, which causes a loss of vision in the upper half of each eye. ADVERTISEMENT. Inferior hemianopia, which causes a loss of vision in the lower half of each eye.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side I69. 351.
Obstruction in blood flow (ischemia) to the brain can lead to permanent damage. This is called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). It is also known as cerebral infarction or stroke. Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA, too.

Coding Guidelines Residual neurological effects of a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be documented using CPT category I69 codes indicating sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. Codes I60-67 specify hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and monoplegia and identify whether the dominant or nondominant side is affected.

Cerebrovascular accident (also known as CVA) is the medical term for a stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes.
The quicker you can get a diagnosis and treatment for a stroke, the better your prognosis will be. For this reason, it’s important to understand and recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Emergency treatment for stroke depends on whether you’re having an ischemic stroke or a stroke that involves bleeding into the brain. To treat an ischemic stroke, doctors must quickly restore blood flow to your brain.

Homonymous hemianopsia (or homonymous hemianopia, HH) is a field loss deficit in the same halves of the visual field of each eye. This condition most commonly results from stroke for adults, or tumors/lesions for patients under the age of 18.[1] Often, the cause of HH is located at the occipital lobe, followed by an injury to the optic radiations or optic tract.[1] HH can also be characterized as contralateral hemianopsia (unilateral involvement at the optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus, optic radiations, or occipital cortex opposite to the side of field loss) in contrast to bitemporal hemianopsia (involvement at the optic chiasm).
The most common homonymous hemianopsia deficits are from occipital lobe lesions. These deficits typically present without other associated neurologic symptoms. However, the patterns may vary. Often these lesions include macular sparing as a result of the dual blood supply and bilateral macular representation at the occipital cortex. At the occipital pole, most posteriorly, homonymous scotomas are produced. Most anteriorly, temporal crescent loss and other similar peripheral vision patterns occur. If the lesion extends anteriorly enough to involve the left corpus callosum, patients may present with alexia without agraphia (if the lesion spares the angular gyrus). Bilateral occipital lobe lesions will produce bilateral homonymous hemianopsia of various types. Most notably is Anton’s syndrome involving a complete bilateral homonymous hemianopsia (cortical blindness) with which the patient also experiences anosognosia, being unaware of their blindness. With bilateral occipital lesions, it is possible that visual acuity may be impacted. [1][19][20]
Temporal crescent-sparing or unilateral lossinvolves varying field loss of about 30 degrees of the farthest peripheral temporal field, which is not overlapped by the contralateral eye’s nasal field (the temporal crescent). Unilateral loss is the only mentioned defect thus far that involves retrochiasmal lesions and presents as a monocular field defect (the others are bilateral and homonymous). Temporal crescent-sparing homonymous hemianopsia is hemianopsia with the temporal crescent of the contralateral eye field being spared, often caused by injury to the occipital cortex with preservation of the anterior portion of the cortex. [16]
Even with reported differences in spontaneous improvement, after six months from the incident, it is unlikely that the patient will experience a spontaneous recovery. However, improvement in underlying diseases has shown to provide visual field improvement even after such time (eg., multiple sclerosis). [26][27]
In addition to identifying the field deficit, all patients experiencing homonymous hemianopsia should undergo further imaging, such as an MRI, to identify the cause of such symptomatology.
Homonymous hemianopsia frequently results from vascular injury. In adults, cerebral infarcts and intracranial hemorrhages being the most common (42% to 89%). They are followed by tumors, trauma, iatrogenic events, and neurologic disease.[2] Pediatric cases often originate from neoplasms (39%), stroke (25%), and trauma (19%). [3]
In addition to the visual field deficit, patients experiencing homonymous hemianopsia may feel disoriented and complain of dizziness, vertigo, or nausea. These symptoms all increase the risk of trauma. Patients are more likely to fall as a result of their field loss.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H53.469 and a single ICD9 code, 368.46 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Bitemporal hemianopsia (aka bitemporal heteronymous hemianopsia or bitemporal hemianopia) is the medical description of a type of partial blindness where vision is missing in the outer half of both the right and left visual field. It is usually associated with lesions of the optic chiasm, the area where the optic nerves from the right and left eyes cross near the pituitary gland.
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code H53.461 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
If you have low vision, eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery may not help. Activities like reading, shopping, cooking, writing, and watching TV may be hard to do. The leading causes of low vision and blindness in the United States are age-related eye diseases: macular degeneration, cataract and glaucoma.
