AB  - As  demonstrated  by  their  common  embryological  origin,  the  retinas  and  anterior  visual  pathways  (optic  nerves,  optic  chiasm,  and  optic  tracts)  are  an  integral  part  of  the  brain,  providing  a  substantial  proportion  of  total  sensory  input.  They  frequently  give  important  diagnostic  clues  to  central  nervous  system  disorders.  Intracranial  disease  frequently  causes  visual  disturbances  because  of  destruction  of  or  pressure  upon  some  portion  of  the  optic  pathways.  Cranial  nerves  III,  IV,  and  VI,  which  control  ocular  movements,  may  be  involved,  and  nerves  V  and  VII  are  also  intimately  associated  with  ocular  function.
