Three patients with postgeniculate cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) had band atrophy of the contralateral optic nerve. One patient had homonymous hemioptic hypoplasia. These cases might have been construed as demonstrating transsynaptic degeneration across the lateral geniculate nucleus to the anterior visual pathway. However, neuroimaging studies revealed abnormal deep venous drainage remote from the AVM nidus that directly involved the lateral geniculate nucleus and posterior optic tract.
三名患有膝状体后大脑动静脉畸形（AVM）的患者出现了对侧视神经带状萎缩。一名患者出现了同侧偏盲性发育不全。这些病例可能被解释为显示了跨外侧膝状体核至视觉前通路的跨突触变性。然而，神经影像学研究显示，远离AVM病灶的异常深部静脉引流直接累及外侧膝状体核和视束后部。
