Abstract

Purpose: To describe a case of a suprasellar meningioma compressing the chiasm from below and producing a unilateral fascicular (nasal) visual field defect that mimicked glaucomatous cupping. Case report: A 78-year-old man presented with painless, progressive, unilateral arcuate visual field defect. He was diagnosed with “normal tension glaucoma” based on an asymmetric cup to disc ratio. Despite treatment with anti-glaucoma drops, the visual field defect progressed. Neurophthalmic evaluation was consistent with a compressive optic neuropathy OD. Brain MRI showed a suprasellar meningioma compressing on the junction of the optic nerve and chiasm from below. Conclusion: Although junctional visual field loss (e.g. junctional scotoma and junctional scotoma of Traquair) are well-known presentations of compressive lesions at the optic chiasm, we describe a monocular, ipsilateral compressive superior nasal defect and asymmetric cupping as the presenting sign of a junctional compressive lesion mimicking glaucomatous cupping.
