Congenital optic tract syndrome: magnetic resonance imaging and scanning laser ophthalmoscopy findings.
Lesions of the optic tract produce a distinctive pattern of optic atrophy and visual field loss and may be due to either congenital or acquired causes. We report a case of a congenital optic tract syndrome and correlate the magnetic resonance imaging findings with the appearance of nerve fiber layer defects found by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.
