  • Title: Traumatic chiasmal syndrome: a feature photograph.
    Author: Goh KY, Schatz NJ, Glaser JS.
    Journal: Ann Acad Med Singap; 1996 Jul; 25(4):614-5. PubMed ID: 8893943.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic chiasmal neuropathy results from injury to the face, sphenoid and clivus. Its pathogenesis remains enigmatic. Because of its close relationship to the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and internal carotid artery, a neuro-ophthalmic evaluation and imaging is needed in such cases. We present a patient who developed traumatic chiasmal syndrome after an automobile accident. Computed tomographic scan showed fracture of the sella turcica. A carotid angiography showed a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid at the base of the skull.
