Subject Optic Chiasm; Optic Neuritis; Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Description A 30 yo woman presented to the comprehensive ophthalmology clinic with bilateral decreased vision. She had no prior ocular history. Her medical history was notable for breast cancer (diagnosed 1 year prior), treated with radiation, chemotherapy, lumpectomy, and pembrolizumab (completed 8/9 planned infusions). She described progressive vision loss in both eyes over the 2 weeks with light sensitivity, pain with eye movements, and diminished color vision. Her best corrected visual acuity was 20/500 in the right eye and count fingers at 3' in the left eye. No APD. Confrontation visual fields were notable for dense constriction in the right eye and temporal field loss in the left eye. The dilated funduscopic exam was normal. She was sent to the emergency department for an expedited work-up. MRI brain and orbits with and without contrast revealed T2 signal and enhancement along the optic chiasm, tracts, and prechiasmatic optic nerves (radiology images 1-4 ). There was no evidence of demyelinating lesions. Lumbar puncture and CT chest/abdomen/pelvis were unremarkable with no metastatic or systemic inflammatory process identified. A diagnostic procedure was performed.
