Optic chiasmal neuritis

Neurology. 1991 Aug;41(8):1203-10. doi: 10.1212/wnl.41.8.1203.

Abstract

In four of six patients with clinical optic chiasmal neuritis, MRI demonstrated abnormalities of the chiasm. Optic chiasmal neuritis may be the initial manifestation of multiple sclerosis, a reflection of established CNS demyelination, or an isolated clinical finding.
