- Chiasmal lesions produce a characteristic form of partial optic atrophy, subtly reflected by objective changes in the peripapillary portion of the retinal nerve fibre layer. The degrees and distributions of these changes were documented by fundus photography in a series of steady state patients with different degrees of chiasmal damage from pituitary adenoma. Semi-quantitative analysis disclosed a close correspondence with the degree of functional deficit. The state of the retinal nerve fibre layer can therefore be used as an objective indicator of the occurrence and severity of anatomical, chiasmal damage.

- A relationship between the degree of atrophy of retinal nerve fibres and visual field defect has been described in postoperative steady-state patients (Lundström & Frisén 1976). The same factors were studied prior to surgery in six patients with compression of the chiasm due to chromophobe adenoma. In five eyes the field defect was excessive in relation to the degree of atrophy. After surgery the visual field defects improved to a level corresponding to the degree of atrophy in these eyes. In the remaining seven eyes there was a close correspondence between the atrophy and the visual field defect already before surgery. The visual field defects remained unchanged in these eyes. Provided that atrophy does not increase after surgery, simultaneous preoperative evaluation of retinal nerve fibre atrophy and visual field defect allows an accurate prediction of prognosis for improvement.

- Fundus changes following severe trauma to the intracranial optic nerve were followed by means of serial fundus photography. The eye was completely blind. Little change was seen during the first 4 weeks. The retinal nerve fibre layer disappeared gradually during weeks 4 to 8. At the same time the retinal vessels turned narrow, and vascular pseudo-sheathing appeared close to the optic disc. Disc pallor was not maximal until the 12th week, when the peripapillary retina also had acquired a mottled appearance.
