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.
Several forms have been described, including ischemic optic neuropathy, which, if prolonged, leads to blindness in the affected eye; optic neuritis due to acute demyelination of optic nerve fibers; infiltrative optic neuropathy, in which the optic nerve is compressed by a tumor or aneurysm; and optic neuropathy due to toxic nutritional factors, e.g., methanol or a combined nutritional and vitamin deficiency.
