  • Title: Inferior altitudinal hemianopia associated with a tumor in the posterior fossa: report of a case.
    Author: Fierro B, Castiglione MG, Turrisi G, Savettieri G.
    Journal: Ital J Neurol Sci; 1984 Mar; 5(1):89-91. PubMed ID: 6735694.
    Abstract:
    Altitudinal hemianopias may be related to chiasmatic involvement. A case in which horizontal inferior hemianopia is associated with a tumor in the posterior fossa producing a triventricular hydrocephalus is described. The visual field defect is interpreted as a consequence of the pressure by a dilated third ventricle upon the chiasmatic area.
