  • Title: Solitary metastasis of breast carcinoma in the optic chiasm.
    Author: Baeesa SS, Benoit BG.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1999 Jun; 13(3):319-21. PubMed ID: 10562846.
    Abstract:
    Optic chiasmatic compression from suprasellar metastatic lesions is well known, but metastasis intrinsic to the optic chiasm has not been reported. A 45-year-old woman, with treated breast carcinoma, presented with headache and chiasmatic syndrome from a large suprasellar tumour. At surgery, an exophytic chiasmatic tumour was encountered, with an appearance similar to a glioma. The pathological appearance was consistent with the primary neoplasm in the breast.
