摘要
Visual field findings suggested the diagnosis of opticochiasmatic arachnoiditis. Pneumoencephalography supported the diagnosis and surgery verified it. Fourteen months earlier this 14-year-old patient had had tuberculous meningitis. The symptoms ascribed to chiasmatic arachnoiditis result from ischemia of the intracranial portion of the optic nerve secondary to a leptomeningitis. Excision of the membrane about the chiasm and optic nerves usually results in rapid recovery of visual acuity and visual fields. © 1969.
