    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Opto-chiasmatic syndrome is a rare neurological condition.
    • It often occurs secondary to severe cranial trauma.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient with post-traumatic opto-chiasmatic syndrome.
    • Key clinical features include bitemporal hemianopsia.

    Findings:

    • The syndrome is characterized by visual field defects affecting both eyes.
    • Associated symptoms may include diabetes insipidus and cranial nerve palsies, aiding diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the mechanisms, such as sagittal stretching or ischemia of the optic chiasm, is crucial.
    • Prompt diagnosis and recognition of this rare syndrome are important for patient management.
