  • Title: Monocular nasal hemianopia from atypical sphenoid wing meningioma.
    Author: Stacy RC, Jakobiec FA, Lessell S, Cestari DM.
    Journal: J Neuroophthalmol; 2010 Jun; 30(2):160-3. PubMed ID: 20431487.
    Abstract:
    Neurogenic monocular nasal field defects respecting the vertical midline are quite uncommon. We report a case of a unilateral nasal hemianopia that was caused by compression of the left optic nerve by a sphenoid wing meningioma. Histological examination revealed that the pathology of the meningioma was consistent with that of an atypical meningioma, which carries a guarded prognosis with increased chance of recurrence. The tumor was debulked surgically, and the patient's visual field defect improved.
