| Description |
The optic chiasm has a transverse diameter of 10-20 mm, an anteroposterior width of 4-13 mm, and thickness of 3-5 mm. The optic chiasm is covered, except where attached to the brain, by arachnoid and pia mater, the latter being continuous with the pia of the optic nerves and part of the optic tracts. The optic chiasm is in direct contact with CSF anteriorly within the subarachnoid space, and posteriorly within the third ventricle, features easily visualized with MRI. |
