Entomopia (from the Greek roots for " insect" and " eye"), is a form of polyopia in which a grid-like pattern of multiple copies of the same visual image is seen. [1]
Entomopia may be due to disease of the occipital lobe, defects in visual integration and fixation or incomplete visual processing due to poor visuospatial localisation in the hemianopic field, [2] although its causes are unknown. [3] Reassurance may be the only treatment. [3]
