In this video I explain all about bitemporal hemianopia. This is a condition that you might find in patients with pituitary tumours and acromegaly when the tumour grows large enough to press on the optic chiasm. This space occupying lesion causes compression and interrupts the signals innervating the inner portion of the retina, which is responsible for sensing the visual signals from the outer portion of the visual fields. This video is intended to help with the education and understanding of students of healthcare professions only and is not medical advice. For medical advice see your doctor or other healthcare professional. Whilst significant effort has been taken to make the information accurate it cannot be guaranteed.
