Abstract 

A 32-year-old female migraneur developed a right incongruous homonymous hemianopia after taking the antiepileptic agent, topiramate. The visual field defect partially resolved when the medication was discontinued. The differential diagnosis of the homonymous hemianopia is discussed.

Keywords:  arteriovenous malformation (AVM), homonymous hemianopia, migraine, topiramate, visual field loss
