A member asked:

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.
