Abstract

A 27-year-old man developed a persistent bitemporal hemianopia after severe head trauma sustained in a high-speed motor vehicle accident. The initial brain MRI revealed hemorrhagic contusion of the optic chiasm. A brain MRI performed 4 weeks later demonstrated complete chiasmal transection, a phenomenon rarely documented with imaging.
