Özet
Objective: In 1904, Hermann Wilbrand reported that nasal ON fibers form a loop into the contralateral ON, subsequently referred to as Wilbrand's knee. He had further theorized that a lesion affecting Wilbrand's knee would develop a distinct visual field defect characterized by an ipsilateral central scotoma with a contralateral superotemporal visual field defect. We present clinical evidence that disputes the existence of Wilbrand's knee.
