    Traumatic bitemporal hemianopsia can occur without direct optic chiasm damage. Indirect injury to optic nerves, causing chiasmal tearing, is a key pathogenic mechanism.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Bitemporal hemianopsia, a visual field defect affecting both temporal visual fields, is typically associated with optic chiasm lesions.
    • Traumatic injuries to the visual pathway can present with diverse neurological deficits.

    Observation:

    • A case of traumatic bitemporal hemianopsia is presented without evidence of macroscopic damage to the optic chiasm.
    • The patient's visual field deficits suggest a disruption of the visual pathway proximal to the chiasm.

    Findings:

    • The study explores potential pathogenic mechanisms for traumatic visual field loss.
    • Emphasis is placed on the indirect mechanism involving the "quartering" of the optic nerves, leading to secondary chiasmal damage.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering indirect injury mechanisms in traumatic optic neuropathies.
    • Understanding these mechanisms can refine diagnostic approaches and treatment strategies for visual field defects following trauma.
