The anterior angle. Lesions that involve the anterior angle of the chiasm, the point at which the optic nerve passes into and forms the chiasm, may show a junctional scotoma (Traquair, 1949) since there is at this point separation of the crossing and uncrossed fibers.
Its diameter increases from about 1.6 mm within the eye to 3.5 mm in the orbit to 4.5 mm within the cranial space. The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe, 24 mm in the orbit, 9 mm in the optic canal, and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm.There, partial decussation occurs, and about 53% of the fibers cross to form the optic tracts.s a consequence, the fibers of the optic nerve are covered with myelin produced by oligodendrocytes, rather than Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system, and are encased within the meninges. Peripheral neuropathies like Guillain-Barre barrÃ© syndrome do not affect the optic. nerve
