We encountered a 64‐year‐old man with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome, having a sudden‐onset homonymous right inferior quadrantanopia. This is the first documentation of such a phenomenon in hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome. We believe this is a variant of hemianopia in patients with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome.
