  • Title: Traumatic bitemporal hemianopsia: case report.
    Author: Tibbs PA, Brooks WH.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1979 Feb; 19(2):129-31. PubMed ID: 762730.
    Abstract:
    Bitemporal hemianopsia due to trauma to the optic chiasm is uncommon following head injury. In the patient described, a hemianopic field defect was seen 12 days after frontal basilar skull fracture. We feel the cause is intrachiasmatic contusion, edema, and hemorrhage. Serial ophthalmologic examinations and possibly use of steroids are recommended.
