A patient with bilateral homonymous hemianopia with preservation of the central vision, spatial disorientation and memory deficits secondary to bilateral occipital and mesial temporal infarctions, is presented. The cerebral damage followed a subdural hematoma with tentorial herniation and compression of both posterior cerebral arteries.
