Impetus has been given to the problem of early diagnosis of these tumors with the advent of neurosurgery, and the ophthalmologist as well as the neurologist has been deeply concerned with the question. The important role of the ophthalmologist in the diagnosis of brain tumors has long been recognized and was aptly emphasized by Cushing when he called the optic chiasm "the crossroads" where the neurologist, the ophthalmologist, and the neurosurgeon meet. In recent years many large series of brain tumors, classified according to both clinical localization and pathological classification, have been reported.1 These reports have dealt primarily with patients who have been referred to general hospitals, presumably not by ophthalmologists.
