In patients with chiasmal lesions, incomplete involvement of the temporal hemifields in both eyes was the most frequent event (22%), followed by anterior junction syndrome (13%). The latter entity at least clinically indicates the proximity of the pre-chiasmal ipsilateral optic nerve and decussating fibres emanating from the inferior nasal hemiretina of the fellow eye. However, this cannot provide conclusive evidence for the existence of anterior Wilbrand's knee.
