Improvement in Compensation for Chronic Post-Stroke Homonymous Hemianopsia Following Initiation of an SSRI: A Case Report

Homonymous hemianopsia (HH) is a common adverse outcome following stroke. Spontaneous improvement more than 6 months post stroke is thought to be unlikely, and traditional visual rehabilitation techniques lack clear evidence of efficacy. The case presented is of a 22 year-old woman who demonstrated improved compensation of her stroke-induced HH following the initiation of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). There is evidence supporting the use of SSRIs to improve post-stroke cognitive impairment, motor impairment and depression.
