Causes of bitemporal hemianopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pituitary disease: Most losses in the bitemporal pattern - partial or complete - originate with tumors of the pituitary gland pressing on the optic nerve chiasm. There are a few rare cases with this pattern from vascular malformations and tumors like meningioma.
