We report a case with progressive visual loss whose ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral optic atrophy and choroidal folds in the left eye. Neuroimaging demonstrated a sellar mass compressing the optic chiasm and the left optic nerve was to be stretched. We assume the traction created on the op
