Traumatic Brain Injury and Vision

Mary D Maher et al. Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2023 May.

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury disrupts the complex anatomy of the afferent and efferent visual pathways. Injury to the afferent pathway can result in vision loss, visual field deficits, and photophobia. Injury to the efferent pathway primarily causes eye movement abnormalities resulting in ocular misalignment and double vision. Injury to both the afferent and efferent systems can result in significant visual disability.

Keywords: Afferent pathway; Cranial nerve; Efferent pathway; Visual pathways.
