[Neuroradiological examination of the intracranial visual pathway. Part I].
The clinical symptoms of lesions affecting the intracranial visual pathway vary as widely as their aetiology. The anatomy, the basics of neuro-ophthalmology and MRI protocols are touched on in the first part of this serial paper; in addition the most important pathological entities affecting the sellar region are presented. The focus is on the differentiation between extrinsic and intrinsic lesions, but in addition to this vascular lesions are presented with reference to illustrative cases.
