Chiasmal Compression by the Third Ventricle in Obstructive Hydrocephalus: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT

The authors review the phenomenon of third ventricular dilation causing chiasmal compression and vision loss, emphasize the need for further study given continued poor outcomes, and, in a patient case, illustrate the value of obtaining magnetic resonance imaging and nerve and macular optical coherence tomography in a patient with an unclear mechanism of vision loss.
