Özet

Objective: Understanding the relationship between the carotid artery, optic nerve and the anterior clinoid process is the basis of surgical approaches performed in the subchiasmal region. The location of the optic chiasm, the length of the optic nerves, and the distance and angle between the optic nerves determine the route of surgical approaches. We have determined the types of optic chiasm to study the relationship between vascular and neural structures in this region.
