| Core Tip |
Magnetic resonance imaging plays a central role in evaluating optic nerve and optic chiasmal disorders, yet diagnostic uncertainty often arises from overlapping clinical presentations. This mini-review introduces a practical, pattern-based magnetic resonance imaging framework that emphasizes protocol optimization, key enhancement and diffusion features, and common imaging pitfalls specific to the anterior visual pathway. By highlighting distinguishing imaging phenotypes across inflammatory, ischemic, compressive, neoplastic, and vascular etiologies, this review provides radiologists with concise, high-yield guidance to improve diagnostic confidence and support timely multidisciplinary management. |
