[Neuro-ophthalmology and psychopathology of meningiomas of the tuberculum sellae (syndrome of the anterior chiasma angle)].
Seventeen cases of meningiomas of the Tuberculum sellae (the anterior chiasma angle) are analysed according to neuro-ophthalmological and psychopathological aspects. Although they also develop in the so-called suprasellar space, they are not characterised by heteronymous bitemporal hemianopsia, but it is in most cases the primary, bilateral optic atrophy that is predominant. Six of 17 cases showed--as the case reported by E. Lange in 1963 ("hysterical" amaurosis)--psychopathological initial and leading symptoms and with these a psychopathological complex which is called a medio-basal hypothalamic-limbic brain-localised psychosyndrome.
