Clinical Trial Summary

This study describe and compare the role of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of anterior visual pathway lesions.

A prospective descriptive study conducted on 30 patients with symptoms related to visual pathway (13 females and 17 males; mean age 30.7 ± 8.2 years; range 4-70 years). Considering anatomical site of lesions, our patients were subdivided into three main groups: optic nerve lesions (n= 9), optic chiasm lesions (n= 17), and lesions involving optic tract and lateral geniculate body (n= 4). The imaging findings of CT and MRI were described and compared.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	09 patients with optic nerve lesions	five optic nerve gliomas, one optic nerve meningioma, and three lesions infiltrating the optic . nerve. MedCalc version 11.1	1 Month
Primary	17 patients with optic chiasm lesion	seven pituitary macroadenomas, six craniopharyngiomas, two olfactory groove meningiomas, and two empty sella syndromes. MedCalc version 11.1	1 Month
Primary	04 patients with lesions involving optic tract and lateral geniculate body	two AVMs, one parasellar meningioma, and one acute right thalamic hematoma. MedCalc version 11.1	1 Month
Primary	Description and Comparison of MRI and CT	MRI is considered an excellent diagnostic modality for providing perfect anatomical details and efficient information regarding the presence, location, and extent of anterior visual pathway lesions, but CT provides greater definition than MRI for bone destruction or erosion as well as for tumoral calcification or acute hemorrhage.
