Bitemporal Hemianopsia

Bitemporal Hemianopsia: It is a loss of peripheral vision in both eyes resulting from pressure on the optic chiasm, typically from a tumor such as a pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma or meningioma.  The optic chiasm is located directly above the pituitary gland in the suprasellar cistern and is composed of crossing fibers from both optic nerves.
