Bitemporal pseudohemianopia related to the "tilted disk" syndrome: CT, MR, and fundoscopic findings

L Manfrè et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1999 Oct.

Abstract

We describe a case of the "tilted-disk" syndrome in a patient with a bitemporal field depression (a pseudohemianopia). CT and MR imaging showed thinning and prolapse of the nasal sectors of the posterior walls of the globes and flattening of the temporal portion of the globes.

Right (A) and left (B) fundus reveals bilateral, small oval-shaped discs with bulging of temporal disk borders (arrowheads) and blurring of nasal margins (arrows). Retinal arteries originate from temporal side of papilla, and curve nasally before arching temporally (thin black arrows). Note hypopigmentation of nasal chorioretinal layers (asterisks)

Axial CT (A) and T1-weighted MR (B) scans at level of optic nerve. Oblique insertion of optic nerve head can be appreciated (white arrows). Note ectasia of nasal sector of globes with posterior nasal wall thinning (double arrows) and flattened temporal aspect (arrowheads)
