Junctional Scotoma and Patterns of Visual Field Defects Produced by Lesions Involving the Optic Chiasm

Conclusions: JXS is more often seen with larger lesions and when there is compression of both the prechiasmatic ON and ON–OC junction. These patients have worse presenting visual acuity and poorer outcomes. Not all patients with radiologic compression had VF defects, although 50% of patients with normal VFs had evidence of compression on the macular GCC analysis, emphasizing the importance of macular OCT in the evaluation of patients with lesions involving the OC.
