Majority present with visual field defects while isolated visual perceptual abnormalities are an exceptional manifestation. About 60 year old hypertensive patient presented with vague symptoms of blurring of vision and palinopsia. Defective color vision was recorded in superior quadrants. Perimetry revealed bilateral congruous left superior quadrantanopia. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) disclosed right PCA infarct involving occipito-temporal region.
