Purpose To evaluate the characteristics of patients with nonorganic or medically unexplained visual loss (MUVL) presenting to a neuro-ophthalmology clinic. Methods A retrospective review of the case notes of patients identified from our diagnostic register. All patients had been followed up for at least 18 months and investigations (including, in all cases, neuroimaging) had failed to reveal any underlying pathology. To be included, patients had to have at least one inconsistent feature on visual function testing. Results: We identified 58 patients with MUVL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
