Biomechanics of human optic chiasmal compression: ex vivo experiment and finite element modelling

The mechanism of bitemporal hemianopia arising as a result of chiasmal compression is unknown. In this study, we combined an ex vivo experiment and finite element modelling (FEM) to investigate its potential mechanism. A cadaveric human optic chiasm was scanned using micro-CT before and after deform...
