In patients with glaucomatous optic nerve atrophy, there is anterograde and-most likely because of microangiopathic lesions within the optic radiation-retrograde transneuronal rarefaction of the optic radiation that can be assessed in vivo using DTI with good correlation to established ophthalmological examinations.
