RNFL thickness and LGN volumes of NTG patients.

Significant correlation of the nasal sector RNFL thickness (crossing axons of the ganglion cells in the optic chiasm) with the volume of the contralateral LGN. In contrast, the temporal sector RNFL thickness (non-crossing axons of the ganglion cells in the optic chiasm) correlates with the volume of the ipsilateral LGN.

视网膜神经纤维层（retinal nerve fiber layer, RNFL）鼻侧象限厚度（对应视交叉内神经节细胞的交叉轴突）与对侧外侧膝状体（lateral geniculate nucleus, LGN）的体积存在显著相关性。与之相对，RNFL颞侧象限厚度（对应视交叉内神经节细胞的非交叉轴突）则与同侧外侧膝状体的体积呈相关关系。
