Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh). 1991 Feb;69(1):135-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1755-3768.1991.tb02011.x.

Abstract

We describe two cases of chiasmal optic neuritis. The presenting symptoms were reduced visual acuity and bitemporal visual field defects. The enlargement of the optic chiasm in the acute stage and normalization after recovery is demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
