 Recently, assisting people with acquired brain injuries to resume driving has received much attention. Although there have been reports suggesting a link between visual field impairments and motor vehicle accidents, there are no clear standards regarding the degree of visual field impairments that do, or do not, impair driving. In this paper, we report a case of aphasia and visual field deficit after stroke, who was able to resume driving. The patient was a right-handed man in his late 50s with mild aphasia and right inferior homonymous quadrantanopia. His Wechsler Adult Intelligent Scale (WAIS-Ⅲ) results showed that he maintained intellectual function and was acutely aware of his condition. A visual search task was administered to increase his awareness of the areas of his visual field loss, and he was encouraged to compensate for these areas. Upon resumption of driving, several driving conditions were established for safety reasons. Consequently, he has continued to drive without accidents or violations for approximately two years since his resuming driving. This patient was able to resume driving after our multifaceted assessment and training. Careful testing and preparation are recommended for individuals with visual field impairments if they wish to resume driving.
