 A clinical significance of the human extrageniculate system was investigated on a case of cortical blindness with the Riddoch's phenomenon.

 A 34-year-old woman showing the Riddoch phenomenon, the dissociation of the visual perception in which one can perceive a moving object despite having the loss of form recognition. This case had cortical blindness which developed during the process of massive intestinal hemorrhage, the visual acuity was limited to hand movement and perception of white and colored light was present, but there was no form recognition. The tracking eye movement for a flashlight was possible without smoothness and optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) also preserved. CT-scan showed a diffuse low density area in the white matter of the occipital lobe but the superior colliculus and parietal cortex were preserved well. The VEPs by flash a checkerboard were detectable. Dynamic topography of the short latency VEP showed that a strong negative deflection from the brainstem appeared at around 30 msec and this deflection expanded to the parietal region at about 90 msec. Subsequently a positive deflection extending from the central region to the occipital region continued. Such a process of reaction is not observed in the normal subject. These findings suggest that the visual reaction was conducted abnormally through the extrageniculate system from the brainstem to the parietal area and then to the occipital area.
