Traumatic chiasmal neuropathy results from injury to the face, sphenoid and clivus. Its pathogenesis remains enigmatic. Because of its close relationship to the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and internal carotid artery, a neuro-ophthalmic evaluation and imaging is needed in such cases. We present a patient who developed traumatic chiasmal syndrome after an automobile accident. Computed tomographic scan showed fracture of the sella turcica. A carotid angiography showed a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid at the base of the skull.
