Reversible Bitemporal Hemihypokinetic Pupil Without Hemianopia: A New Chiasmal Sign.

Chiasmal syndromes present mostly with visual problems, such as changes in visual fields, decreased visual acuity, or dyschromatopsia (and classically without pupillary reflex defects). The prototypical bitemporal hemianopia upon visual field testing can easily suggest chiasmal compression due to sellar/suprasellar involvement. However, because of the complexity of the decussation of fibres at the optic chiasm and the presence of anatomical variants, unpredictable visual fields defects can be detected in chiasmal diseases.
