  • Title: [Temporal hemianopia and diabetes insipidus following head injury].
    Author: Zaaroor M, Goldsher D, Feinsod M.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1997 Jan 01; 132(1):14-5, 72. PubMed ID: 9035581.
    Abstract:
    Bitemporal hemianopia and diabetes insipidus following head injury are caused by a lesion in the center of the optic chiasm, together with injury to the adjacent pituitary stalk or the hypothalamus. This combination was thought to be a rare complication of severe head injury. The case of a 16-year-old male is presented, which together with recent reports suggests that this relatively under-recognized syndrome is not infrequent, that it may follow even minor head injury, and that magnetic resonance imaging can demonstrate the chiasmal lesion.
