The optic nerve is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and support cells. ... (eye) via the optic canal, running postero-medially towards the optic chiasm where there is a partial decussation ...

Note the diffuse enlargement of both optic nerves, the optic chiasm and both optic tracts. One can easily appreciate the infiltration of these structures, especially when compared to an aged-matched ...

Strikingly, most of the regenerating axons of M1-treated mice reached 4mm distal to the crush site (i.e. near optic chiasm), while no regenerating axons were found in vehicle-treated control mice.

Cavernous malformations of the optic pathway are rare vascular anomalies defined by clusters of dilated, thin‐walled capillaries that may develop along the optic nerve, chiasm, or tract.

Band optic atrophy is described as a horizontal band of optic disc pallor, often associated with a contralateral optic tract lesion and bilateral hemianopic visual field defects. News News CME CME ...

There was a vascular lesion within the optic nerve and encroaching onto the chiasm and opposite optic nerve ().The tumour was completely resected with preservation of optic nerve on the right side.

A picture of the human optic nerve chiasm and associated optic nerve sheath that covers it. Purple highlights the optic nerve tissue and the white vasculature surrounding it highlights the lymphatic ...

A midline intracranial tumor often presents with a bitemporal visual field defect because of its ability to encroach or invade the optic nerve chiasm. Neuroimaging is key to determining the cause ...
