Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurology
- Forensic Medicine
Background:
- Spiral visual fields are an uncommon visual field defect.
- Understanding their incidence is important for medico-legal assessments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the incidence of spiral visual fields.
- To analyze bilateral versus unilateral presentation.
- To report findings from cases requiring medico-legal opinions.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective survey design.
- Analysis of 1,143 patient cases.
- Review of visual field test results.
Main Results:
- The study describes the incidence of spiral visual fields.
- Data on both bilateral and unilateral cases are presented.
- Incidence rates within the surveyed medico-legal cases are detailed.
Conclusions:
- The findings contribute to the understanding of spiral visual field prevalence.
- This data is relevant for ophthalmological and neurological medico-legal evaluations.
- The study highlights the importance of accurate visual field assessment in legal contexts.
