  • Title: Traumatic disruption of the optic chiasm.
    Author: Segal L, An JA, Gans M.
    Journal: J Neuroophthalmol; 2009 Dec; 29(4):308-10. PubMed ID: 19952905.
    Abstract:
    A 27-year-old man developed a persistent bitemporal hemianopia after severe head trauma sustained in a high-speed motor vehicle accident. The initial brain MRI revealed hemorrhagic contusion of the optic chiasm. A brain MRI performed 4 weeks later demonstrated complete chiasmal transection, a phenomenon rarely documented with imaging.
