Temporal Thinning of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer after Traumatic Brain Injury (OD, Triton OCT)

Temporal Thinning of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer after Traumatic Brain Injury (OD, Triton OCT)
RNFL Map, OD: temporal thinning of retinal nerve fiber layer caused by a traumatic brain injury with a lesion of the retrochiasmal pathway in 03/2017and a transneuronal retrograde degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells and retinal nerve fibers. Patient: female, 51 years of age, BCVA 1.0 at OD, 1.0 at OS, IOP 15/ 16 mmHg, homonymous bilateral hemianopia , traumatic brain injury with subdural hematoma in 03/2017. Now visual fields presenting a homonymous bilateral hemianopia caused by a MRI-lesion of the retrochiasmal pathway. The retinal ganglion cell thickness maps showing a homonymous hemispheric thinning due to the transneuronal retrograde degeneration the retinal ganglion cells.
