Three cases of chiasmal optic neuritis are described with bitemporal visual field loss and
enlargement of the optic chiasm as demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) …

We describe two cases of chiasmal optic neuritis. The presenting symptoms were reduced
visual acuity and bitemporal visual field defects. The enlargement of the optic chiasm in the …

Using a CT/T 8800 scanner, axial and coronal images of the optic chiasm were obtained in a
cadaver, 41 normal individuals, and six patients with symptoms of chiasmal glioma. The size …

Patients with lesions in the neighborhood of the chiasm usually complain first of visual
symptoms. The responsibility for diagnosis of these lesions therefore rests primarily upon the …

Two patients exhibiting bitemporal hemianopia due to chiasmal optic neuritis with
pathological confirmation of noncompressive lesions are presented; the first due to a …

Eight verified lesions of the optic chiasm were examined on 0.5 T magnetic resonance (MR)
and GE 9800, 8800 computed tomographic (CT) scanners. Enlargement of the optic chiasm …

The interpretation of field defects due to chiasmal compression has concerned
ophthalmologists and neurologists formany years. Theregionalanatomy and intrinsic fibre …

Bitemporal depression of the visual field is diagnostic of a chiasma lesion. The commonest
lesions of the optic chiasma are due to pressure, either by tumours arising in the pituitary …

The symptoms of lesions producing pressure on the optic chiasm are extremely variable.
While various bitemporal hemianopic defects are the most frequent and most characteristic …
