Table 1. 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.

RNFL = retinal nerve fiber layer, ST = superior temporal, T = temporal, IT = inferior temporal, IN = inferior nasal, N = nasal, SN = superior nasal.

^* indicates significant correlations (p < 0.05).
