Occipital lobe infarction caused by tentorial herniation was described based on computed tomography findings in nine patients. The whole area of the occipital lobe was involved in five patients; some areas were spared in the others. Infarction other than the ipsilateral occipital lobe was seen in four areas of nine patients: the ispsilateral posterior limb of the internal capsule, contralateral Ammon's horn, and two contralateral occipital lobes. Hemorrhagic infarction was seen in two patients.
