Description Unilateral lesions to the optic tract lead to optic nerve atrophy (bow-tie atrophy) and concurrent macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness reduction in a reproducible pattern in both eyes. This is called optic tract syndrome and it is reflected clinically as an incongruous homonymous hemianopia and a contralateral relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD).
