Abstract:
We investigated the diagnostic ability of a new criterion (simple temporal depression) for compressive lesions of the optic chiasm. The subjects were 124 eyes with compressive lesions of the optic chiasm. The controls were 84 eyes. The Humphrey (Carl Zeiss) visual field test was used for visual field testing. The simple temporal depression index was calculated as the ratio of the sums of the thresholds for one line on the nasal side and temporal side of the vertical meridian. The result of new index was 87% sensitivity and 99% specificity. This result suggested that our new criterion will assist the diagnosis in the future.
