    Summary

    Aneurysms compressing the anterior visual pathways caused varied visual loss in ten patients. Surgical intervention improved vision in most cases, highlighting the importance of prompt treatment for visual pathway compression.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Aneurysmal compression of anterior visual pathways can lead to significant visual impairment.
    • The clinical presentation and visual field defects associated with these aneurysms are often variable.
    • Understanding the impact of aneurysmal compression on visual function is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical presentation and outcomes of visual loss caused by aneurysmal compression of the anterior visual pathways.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical interventions in managing visual deficits secondary to these aneurysms.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of ten patients with aneurysmal compression of the anterior visual pathways.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, visual acuity, visual field testing, aneurysm location, and surgical outcomes.

  • Surgical interventions included aneurysm clipping and common carotid ligation.

    • Main Results:

    • Ten patients presented with visual loss (unilateral in 4, bilateral in 6) due to aneurysmal compression.
    • Aneurysm locations varied: supraclinoid (4), carotid-ophthalmic (2), anterior communicating-anterior cerebral (3), and intracavernous carotid (1).
    • Post-surgical outcomes showed improvement in visual acuity in six patients, no change in three, and worsening in one.

    Conclusions:

    • Aneurysmal compression of anterior visual pathways presents with diverse clinical features and visual field deficits.
    • Surgical management, primarily aneurysm clipping, can lead to visual improvement in a majority of affected patients.
    • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are essential for optimizing visual outcomes in cases of visual pathway compression by aneurysms.
