Bitemporal hemianopsia in basilar artery aneurysm.

J A Rush, G A Balis, C G Drake

    Journal of Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare pediatric case of bitemporal hemianopsia caused by a giant basilar artery aneurysm is presented. Prompt diagnosis and aneurysm occlusion led to improved vision, highlighting this aneurysm as a cause of visual field defects.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Vascular Neurology

    Background:

    • Bitemporal hemianopsia in children typically suggests intracranial tumors like craniopharyngioma or chiasmal glioma.
    • Delayed diagnosis can lead to irreversible vision loss.

    Observation:

    • A 10-year-old boy presented with blurred vision and headaches, initially showing normal ophthalmoscopy.
    • Inferior bitemporal defects were detected, prompting further investigation.

    Findings:

    • Cranial CT and vertebral angiography revealed a giant aneurysm at the basilar artery bifurcation.
    • This is the first reported case of a basilar artery aneurysm causing chiasmal syndrome in a child.

    Implications:

    • Basilar artery aneurysms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric bitemporal hemianopsia.
    • Successful aneurysm occlusion can restore visual function, underscoring the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention.
