Ujian Nasional, biasa disingkat UN/UNAS, adalah sistem evaluasi standar pendidikan dasar dan mene-ngah secara nasional yang dilakukan oleh Pusat Penilaian Pendidikan. Pelaksanaannya didasarkan pada Undang-undang nomor 20 tahun 2003 yang menyatakan, bahwa dalam rangka pengendalian mutu pendidikan secara nasio-nal dilakukan evaluasi sebagai bentuk akuntabilitas penyelenggara pendidikan kepada pihak-pihak yang berkepen-tingan. Ujian Nasional Sebagai salah satu alternatif evaluasi pendidikan yang mengarah ke aspek kognitif siswa sebagai tolak ukur standarisasi siswa dinyatakan lulus dari satuan pendidikan. Namun berbagai problematika silih berganti mengiringi pelaksanaan Ujian Nasional yang menggema secara nasional dari berbagai pihak dan masyara-kat luas.yang meliputi bahwa Ujian nasional terdapat kecurangan yang dilakukan pihak pihak yang berkepenting-an, kecemasan siswa yang meningkat, bahkan ketidakadilan pun terjadi di berbagai wilayah yang dilakukan oknum-oknum tertentu, termasuk di antaranya, dugaan kedaulatan guru yang dikebiri karena tidak mempunyai hak untuk menilai siswa yang telah dididik selama masa pendidikan.
 
National Exam: Hopes and challenges
 
Abstract: The National Examination, commonly abbreviated as UN/UNAS, is a national standard evaluation system for primary and secondary education conducted by the Education Assessment Center. Its implementation is based on Law number 20 of 2003, which states that in the context of controlling the quality of education nationally, an evaluation is carried out as a form of accountability of education providers to interested parties. National Examination As an alternative to Educational Evaluation that leads to the cognitive aspect of students as a benchmark for standardization, students are declared to have graduated from the Education unit. However, various problems alternately accompanied the implementation of the National Examination, which echoed nationally from various parties and the wider community, which included that the National Examination contained fraud committed by interested parties, increased student anxiety, and even injustice occurred in various areas carried out by unscrupulous individuals. certain individuals, including among others, the alleged sovereignty of teachers who were castrated because they did not have the right to judge students who had been educated during the education period.

Authors: YİĞİT Arzu
Published: November 2022

Aim: Cancer is one of the leading causes of premature death in the world. However, the economic burden of cancer at the country level is unknown. This study aims to estimate the economic loss of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost due to cancer between 1990-2019 in Turkey. Methods: The economic value of DALYs lost to cancer has been estimated using the human capital approach. This study used disability-adjusted life years and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita to estimate economic loss due to DALYs in Turkey. Results: Total economic loss due to cancer due to DALYs in 1990 was estimated as $4,783,030,609 (CI: $3,559,877,407- $6,157,521,799). In 2019, the total economic loss due to DALYs-related cancer was estimated to be $24,503,131,327 (CI: $1,674,808,440- $30,925,175,577). While the economic value of DALYs lost due to cancer was 3.17 (CI: 2.36-4.09) % of GDP in 1990 in Turkey, it was 3.22 (CI: 2.45-4.06) % in 2019. Conclusion: According to the findings obtained from the research findings, an economic value of roughly 3.2% of the GDP in Turkey shows that due to cancers. The first cancer, which constitutes the highest economic value of DALYs are lung cancer (28%) with 6.8 billion USD. This finding necessitates the meticulous implementation of Turkey’s national cancer policy for cancer prevention in Turkey.

Ketidaktahuan dan kesalah pahaman tentang Islam membuat banyak orang berpendapat bahwa Islam adalah hanya sebatas agama transendental yang khusus mengatur hubungan antara manusia dan Tuhan. Bahkan ada pendapat yang lebih memojokkan bahwa Islam adalah penghambat kemajuan peradaban. Menurut sisi bahasa, kata “Islam” berasal dari kata aslama, yuslimu, islaman yang artinya tunduk dan patuh. Seorang yang tunduk dan patuh kepada kepala negara, secara bahasa, dapat dikatakan aslama li-rais ad-daulah; sedangkan jika kita lihat Islam yang berasal dari bahasa arab, yaitu salima yang berarti selamat, damai, tunduk, pasrsrah, dan berserah diri

In order to improve the customer experience of digital banking services at Vietnamese commercial banks, the study has developed a customer experience forecasting model and provided some managerial implications.
Neuroticism is prospectively associated with 30-month changes in broadband internalizing symptoms, but not narrow-band positive affect or anxious arousal, in emerging adulthood

Published: November 2022

Elevated levels of Neuroticism/Negative Emotionality (N/NE) and, less consistently, lower levels of Extraversion/Positive Emotionality (E/PE) confer risk for pathological depression and anxiety. To date, most prospective-longitudinal research has narrowly focused on traditional diagnostic categories, creating uncertainty about the precise nature of these prospective associations. Adopting an explicitly hierarchical-dimensional approach, we examined the association between baseline variation in personality and longitudinal changes in broad and narrow internalizing-symptom dimensions in 234 emerging adults followed for 2.5 years, during the transition from older adolescence to early adulthood. N/NE was uniquely associated with increases in broadband internalizing—the core cognitive and affective symptoms that cut across the emotional disorders—and unrelated to the narrower dimensions of positive affect and anxious arousal that differentiate specific internalizing presentations. Variation in E/PE and several other Big Five traits was cross-sectionally, but not prospectively, related to longitudinal changes in specific internalizing symptoms. Exploratory personality-facet-level analyses provided preliminary evidence of more granular associations between personality and longitudinal changes in internalizing symptoms. These observations enhance the precision of models linking personality to internalizing illness; highlight the centrality of N/NE to increases in transdiagnostic internalizing symptoms during a key developmental chapter; and set the stage for developing more effective prevention and treatment strategies.
The Long-Term Course of Remission and Recovery in Psychotic Disorders

Published: November 2022

Background: Understanding prognosis is critical to anticipating future public health needs, and to providing clinical care to individuals with psychotic disorders. However, the long-term course of remission and recovery in psychotic disorders remains unclear. In this cohort of 628 individuals followed for 25 years since first admission for psychosis, we describe the most common trajectories of illness course among those with psychotic disorders. Methods: Participants are from the Suffolk County Mental Health Project, an epidemiological study of first-admission psychosis. Participants were recruited from all 12 inpatient facilities in Suffolk County, New York between 1989 and 1995. 628 participants met criteria for the baseline sample. Data for the present study reflects remission and recovery at the 6-month, 24-month, 48-month, 10-year, 20-year, and 25-year follow-ups. 321 individuals were assessed at the 25-year follow-up. Common patterns of remission and recovery were assessed in both the baseline sample of 628 individuals, as well as the subsample of those observed at the 25-year follow up.Results: Common patterns of remission and recovery were assessed. In the baseline sample and 25-year subsample, among those with schizophrenia, the most common trajectory was one of no remission and no recovery. Among those with other psychotic disorders, in both baseline sample and the 25-year subsample, the modal pattern was one of intermittent remission and recovery. Those with psychotic disorders other than schizophrenia were more likely to experience stable remission (10.9%) and stable recovery (23.6%), than those with schizophrenia, where these outcomes were rare (0% and 0.7%, respectively). Discussion: These patterns emphasize the importance of sustained, long-term case for individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorder and other psychoses. Though people with other psychoses often have periods of remission and recovery, the model longitudinal pattern is one of multiple episodes. Engagement in a long-term health care plan may help individuals detect and respond to these changes. Sustained remission and recovery are rare among people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and efforts should be put towards ensuring continual access to care, especially as they enter old age.

Language Commission has recommended the Magar language as official language in two provinces, viz. Gandaki and Karnali. However, implementation has been a Hercules task due to some extra-linguistic and linguistic problems. The languages spoken in the Magar community are not vibrantly used due to the weak ‘instrumental’ attitude. To implement the Magar languages as official languages some extra-linguistic strategies have to be executed. Moreover, effective linguistic strategies have to be framed to bring them to sustainable use.

Authors: Spadoni Gregory F. , Wojkowski Sarah , Stratford Paul W.
Published: November 2022

Purpose:

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and station examinations, in general, have been widely utilized in health professional programmes to evaluate students’ clinical performance prior to advancing to a clinical placement. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted student preparation and implementation of our programme’s OSCEs. The impact on changes in student OSCE performance due COVID-19 has not been well studied. This non-concurrent cohort study evaluated the difference before and during COVID-19 pandemic on Year 1 physiotherapy students’ performances on an in-person OSCE by estimating the mean difference in cohort OSCE scores and safety occurrences.

Methods:

Two cohorts of MSc (PT) students were compared: Cohort A (not impacted by COVID-19) and Cohort B (impacted by COVID-19). Cohort scores were summarized as means and 95% CIs.

Results:

Overall OSCE scores for Cohort A and B were 77.9 and 81.9, respectively ([Formula: see text] = 4.0, 95% CI: 2.1, 5.8). Cohort B students were approximately 4 times more likely to demonstrate safety occurrences.

Conclusion:

The impact of COVID-19 did not adversely affect total OSCE scores; however, it did increase safety infractions.
A Provocative Reading ofThe Waves: Virginia Woolf’s Biography of a Generation
Authors: Wall Kathleen
Published: November 2022

Woolf’s seventh novel, The Waves, published in 1931, has often been considered the most difficult for readers; yet it was also her most popular novel to date, selling ten thousand copies between its September publication and February 1932, perhaps because her readers saw it for what it was: a biography composed of the inner lives of her contemporaries. This article mines her diaries and essays from the time period to illustrate her interest in biography and her intention to write “the memoirs of one’s own times during peoples [sic] lifetimes. … The question is how to do it. … One might write a book of short significant separate scenes” (Woolf, Diary 3: 156–57). Like much of Woolf’s work, The Waves interrogates the limitations of generic conventions and queries how stories are told. Percival’s truncated life represents the dying form of the Bildungsroman. The voices of the remaining six characters record their sensations and inner experiences, while, together, the voices craft portraits of the phases of all human lives: childhood, early school years, and middle age. These are conveyed in such a way that admits that “a large and important part of life consists in our emotions toward such things as roses and nightingales, the dawn, the sunset, life, death and fate” (Woolf, “Poetry, Fiction, and the Future,” Essays 4: 435). Read as the biography of a generation, The Waves gains unity and accessibility.

Published: November 2022

El objetivo primordial de la investigación radica en el diseño y validación de un instrumento para evaluar la competencia informacional desde la autopercepción de estudiantes universitarios en México. El estudio subyace al paradigma positivista con un enfoque cuantitativo. La investigación es descriptiva-correlacional, con un diseño de tipo instrumental. Se aplicó un cuestionario ad hoc a una muestra de 1,260 estudiantes de educación superior de la región noroeste de México de centros públicos y privados, durante 2021-2022. El instrumento evalúa cuatro dimensiones de la competencia informacional: búsqueda, tratamiento, evaluación y comunicación de la información. Los resultados del análisis de fiabilidad del total del instrumento arrojaron un alfa de Cronbach de .86.  Las pruebas de correlación evidenciaron una asociación de moderada a fuerte entre las dimensiones de la competencia informacional autopercibida con un nivel de significancia nivel 0.01. Entre las conclusiones, se destaca una adaptación del cuestionario probado satisfactoriamente al registrar consistencia interna en cada una de las dimensiones analizadas y el global del instrumento. A manera de recomendación para posteriores estudios, se propone la aplicación de otros diseños y alcances de investigación, como explicativos o experimentales, a fin de aumentar la precisión.

Published: November 2022

The growth of the level of motorization of the population has led to a significant increase in road congestion in the cities of Ukraine. All this necessitates the optimization of the spontaneously formed system of urban passenger transport, which does not meet modern challenges. An effective solution to this problem is the use of decision support systems in the field of urban transport routing. Theoretical and methodological substantiation of the choice of the method of optimization of the route of urban transport is carried out in the work and the simulation modeling of the process of optimization of passenger transportation on the route №9 in Pryluky by Pareto criterion is carried out. The technique of search of optimum routes by methods of game modeling is developed. The optimization game model of the process of passenger transportation on the route №9 in Pryluky showed results that take into account the interests of all stakeholders
RIMERELIOSIS OF BIRDS: EPISOTHOLOGICAL DATA, ILLUSTRATION OF FIELD ISOLATES PATHOGEN ON THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE AND STUDY OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL

Published: November 2022

According to the literature, in countries with developed duck breeding and goose breeding Riemerella anatipestifer – a pathogen that can cause the death of 60-75% of young waterfowl 1-8 weeks of age – creates considerable problems in recent years. This infection is not controlled in Ukraine. The extent of the pathogen in Ukraine needs to be studied, as well as the study of its biological features.

The aim of our work is to highlight field isolates of the pathogen riemerellosis and to study their biological properties.

Epizootological examination was conducted in three farms among goslings and ducklings 2-6 weeks of age. There were clinical signs characterized by nervous disorders, ataxia, edema of subcutaneous tissue around the mold joints, the presence of plaque around the anus. Among goslings, the death rate was 15%, ducklings – up to 30%. It was found that the disease was observed mainly in the breeding period (from February – till April). Most sick young animals aged 14 days to 2 months. In sick individuals, the development of caseous or fibrinous salpingitis, erosion of articular cartilage was noted.

We have identified two isolates of bacteria of the genus Riemerella. Riemerel isolates had typical biochemical properties. According to the results, it was found that the most effective antibacterial agents against riemerel were: rifampicin, amoxiclav, amoxicillin, doxycycline, lincomycin, cefuroxime, chloramphenicol. A method for diagnosing riemerelosis of waterfowl with the use of clinical, pathological, bacteriological studies has been developed.

Prospects for further research consist in using the developed method for diagnosing riemerelosis of waterfowl based on clinical, pathological, bacteriological studies to monitor this infection of birds in poultry farms in Ukraine and determine the epizootic situation of this disease.

Published: November 2022

Meeting the growing needs of consumers in quality food products with dietary and high palatability is possible by increasing the production of capon meat (gonadectomy roosters). The purpose of the work is to study the fractional composition of blood plasma proteins, average daily body weight gains, slaughter rates and the quality of meat of Adler silver roosters after gonadectomy. It has been shown that the blood plasma of the Adler silver cocks contains more than 20 different protein fractions, the molecular weight of which is in the range from 17 to 260 kDa. After gonadectomy, the content of proteins with low molecular weights (fractions D, H, L, P) in the blood plasma of roosters decreased, the level of individual high-molecular proteins (fractions C and E) increased, and the remaining fractions did not change compared to the control. It was found that the body weight of gonadectomized roosters on the 185th day of the experiment was 6.4% higher than in the control group, as well as the average daily body weight gain, which was on average 8% higher than that of the control group roosters. The weight of half-gutted and gutted carcasses after slaughter of gonadectomy roosters was higher than in the control by 7.5 and 9.0%, respectively, and the heart, liver and muscular stomach did not change. An increase in the number of microbial cells by 57.1% in smears-imprints of the pectoral muscle and by 68.4% in the muscles of the thigh of gonadectomy roosters after four days of storage of carcasses compared with the control was established. Other indicators of microbial contamination of the pectoral and thigh muscles of gonadectomy roosters, as well as the pH of the water extract and the amount of MAPAM did not exceed their value in the birds of the control group and met the requirements. In samples of the pectoral muscle and thigh muscle of gonadoectomized and roosters of the control group, the reaction to peroxidase was positive, and CGB, pathogens of salmonellosis, listeriosis and coagulopositive staphylococci were not isolated.

Published: November 2022

Modern methods of industrial poultry farming involve intensive technologies that do not always correspond to the physiological characteristics of the bird's body. Increasing the preservation of chickens and ensuring high intensity of their growth at all stages of rearing is one of the most urgent problems of modern poultry farming. The low resistance of chickens at an early age is due to their biological characteristics, high concentration of livestock, the negative impact of technological factors and insufficiently balanced feeding, which leads to stress and affects the level of productivity of poultry and, accordingly, increases the percentage of mortality. A study of the effectiveness of the probiotic drug "Biomagn" was conducted in order to normalize the intestinal microflora of broiler chickens and strengthen immune and antioxidant functions. Microbial preparations from associations of nonpathogenic bacteria have a positive effect on the productivity and natural resistance of the body. It was established that the introduction of the probiotic drug "Biomagn" into the diet of broiler chickens in the form of a supplement to the main feed leads to inhibition of the growth of obligate and facultative microflora, compared to the indicators in the birds of the control group (Р≤0.05). The results of microbiological studies of samples of the contents of the small intestine, rectum, and caecum of broiler chickens of the control and experimental groups showed that the use of a prebiotic preparation helps to inhibit the development of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms Campilobacter spp., Salmonella liquid groups, the number of enterobacteria and an increase in the number of Lactobacillus bacteria and Bifidobacterium Thanks to this, they are able to create a bacterial balance during the colonization of the digestive tract and prevent the development of harmful microflora there.

Cultural identity and beliefs are one of the most important factors that determine the position of women in socio-cultural life, and therefore, the perspective of today's societies towards women is shaped within the framework of these historical arguments. As in the family, the use of social rights and freedoms of women, which is the most basic element of society, is increased in proportion to the level of development of societies or is exposed to extreme restrictions, as in the case of the Taliban. In the history of the Turks, the perception of women originating from Central Asia has preserved its dignity by being glorified both before Islam and in the period from the acceptance of Islam through the present. This article discusses the women dervishes in Bektashism, which is one of the Muslim Turkish communities.
ON THE PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL MAP OF NEUROFINANCE
Authors: POLAT Yusuf
Published: November 2022

Describing the violations detected in standard finance through factors related to the psychology of the individual brought about the emergence of fields such as behavioral and neurofinance and made it necessary for research to work on a common ground with disciplines such as psychiatry, neurology and pharmacology. The first studies in neurofinance started with the study of brain injuries and have already expanded into a neuro-psycho-pharmacological field. However, human and animal lesion studies and neuro-pharmacological studies both require highly qualified preparations and are subject to ethical limitations. The psychiatric aspect of the subject, on the other hand, has turned into an important field of study by providing an environment that is rich in lesions and because of the variety of symptomatologies of psychopathology, which facilitates these difficulties, as well as eliminates manipulation and preparation, and thus provides an environment ready for experimentation. Besides, the findings obtained from studies conducted on neurotic and psychotic cohorts include completely real behaviors rather than an attitude statement. In this study, it is aimed to compile the findings of researches in the field of finance and in the context of psychopathology and to present a description to the literature.

Published: November 2022

A rational investor does not only focus on obtaining the maximum return while making the investment decision, but also tries to calculate the risk dimension of the investment. Risk and return are in close relationship with each other in the field of finance, just as they are in daily life. In this study, risk-return analysis was made on the top five cryptocurrencies with high transaction volume; “BTC, ETH, ADA, XRP, LTC” traded on crypto technology market exchanges. As it is known, digital currencies contain a lot of speculative movements. In this study, EGARCH-M model, which allows to measure the statistical connection between risk and return in the asset, which is one of the variable variance (GARCH) models, was used. Another feature of this model is that it measures whether there is an asymmetric effect in volatility. In the study, three different time periods are included: pre-pandemic period, pandemic period and the whole period.As a result of the analysis, Cardano is the only cryptoasset in which the risk-return interaction was detected. A significant risk-return trade off, which was not detected before the pandemic period, emerged for Cardano with the pandemic and continued throughout the entire period.  In other analyzed cryptocurrencies; (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin), no significant relationship was found in terms of risk-return tradeoff.

Objective: To investigate the effective radiation dose and image quality of computed tomography angiography (CTA) before transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Material and Methods: This study involved 65 participants, diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis and examined with CTA before TAVI. The total mAs, kVp, volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), and dose–length product (DLP) in each scanning phase were recorded. The effective dose was calculated by multiplying the DLP by the conversion coefficient (k=0.015 mSv/[mGy.cm]). For quantitative image analysis, circular regions of interest were placed on six levels of the aorta in the axial images. The CT attenuation value, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio, and contrast-to-noise ratio were measured. For qualitative analysis, two radiologists rated the image quality of the aortic root and aortoiliac pathway. Results: The mean CTDIvol and DLP were 23.59±5.19 mGy and 881.01±193.41 mGy.cm., respectively. The mean effective dose was 13.22±2.90 mSv; the whole-aorta CTA phase received the highest dose, followed by the coronary CTA and coronary artery calcium scoring phases (9.62±2.60, 2.44±1.13, and 1.16±0.55 mSv, respectively). Image quality ranged from good to excellent in all segments of the aorta. Conclusion: The mean effective radiation dose of the pre-TAVI CT examination using 256-multidetector CT was 22.91± 5.03 mSv. The image quality in the aorta was good to excellent. The main factors that affected the radiation dose were: body mass index, total mAs, and kVp.

Published: November 2022

One of the most powerful technologies which are of high interest in the computer world is data mining. However, it is a comparatively new field of research whose major objective is to acquire knowledge from huge amounts of data. The motive of this study is to design a model which can forecast the likelihood of diabetes in patients with maximum accuracy. Therefore two main machine learning classification algorithms namely Decision Tree and Naive Bayes are used in this experiment to detect diabetes at an early stage. Experiments are performed on Pima Indians Diabetes Database (PIDD) which is sourced from the UCI machine learning repository. The performances of the two algorithms are evaluated on various measures like Precision, Accuracy, F-Measure, and Recall. Accuracy is measured over correctly and incorrectly classified instances. The filtering is done by comparing the group value to the class value followed by applying the Naïve Bayes classification algorithm for predicting diabetes. Significant attribute selection was done via the principal component analysis method. Results obtained show Naive Bayes outperforms with the highest accuracy of 76.30% compared to the decision tree which has 73.82%.
A Web-based Awareness System for Improving Open-source e-learning Software adoption by Nigerian Higher Institutions of learning

Published: November 2022

Open-source software has been widely developed and adopted for different purposes, including in the educational sector. Many institutions of learning extensively utilize open-source e-learning software to complement their in-class programs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. But many institutions of learning in Nigeria are still unable to utilize the opportunity due to a lack of adequate awareness and guidance on how to adopt the software. This study is aimed at educating the Nigerian public on open-source e-learning software and its benefits in education, especially in tertiary institutions amid the COVID-19 pandemic. To better have a wide coverage of respondents in Nigerian tertiary institutions, we conducted an online survey and a paper-based questionnaire. A sample of 500 responses was collected from Nigerians with different high educational levels regarding Open-Source e-learning adoption and awareness. However, only 349 responses were returned. The results of the survey were analyzed using python-based analysis libraries. The findings indicated that a greater percentage of the respondents were aware of what constitutes open-source e-learning but that most institutions in Nigeria have not fully utilized the platform for learning activities. It is implied that a reasonable number of respondents have literacy knowledge of open-source learning and agree that COVID-19 has greatly influenced the use of e-learning software in Nigerian institutions. It is therefore recommended that more work be done to improve the awareness level of various institutions to fully utilize the technology and the benefits it represents. This led to the development of a web-based solution for creating more awareness among the public. This would help close the gap found in this study and affect how open-source e-learning software is used in Nigerian schools.

Published: November 2022

The present research explores Pakistani ESL learners' voluntary language learning behaviour. It excludes references to ubiquitous and almost rampant online teaching-learning behaviour caused by the recent global pandemic—COVID-19. A questionnaire containing closed-ended questions was used to collect the data. Cronbach's Alpha test was used to check the reliability of the questionnaire, whereas the validity of the questionnaire was examined by using the Item-Total Correlation Test and Inter-Item Correlation Test. A regression test was conducted to test the current research work hypotheses. Regression results suggest that the following factors urge the learners to benefit from the Internet to learn English. The data analysis and results reveal important information related to learner-psychology. (a) The attitude of Pakistani learners towards Internet-based language learning is positive. (b) The Internet's perceived usefulness urges Pakistani learners to learn English. (c) Learners can afford digital gadgets and money to buy Internet data
Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the chiasm and optic tract in a nonimmunocompromised patient: illustrative case
Authors: Kadri Hassan , Hamed Ghiath , Anbari Anas
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Chiasmatic and optic track lymphoma as the primary lesion of the central nervous system (CNS) is extremely rare.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors report a case of a previously healthy 62-year-old woman who presented with quick and progressive visual impairment leading to bilateral blindness. Brain imaging studies suggested glioma or lymphoma of the chiasm and the posterior visual pathway. Postoperative examination revealed low-grade malignant B-cell lymphoma. No evidence of extracranial lymphoma was found, so a final diagnosis of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) was made.

LESSONS

To the authors’ knowledge, PCNSL confined to the optic chiasm has rarely been reported in nonimmunocompromised patients. The present case of lymphoma affecting the optic chiasm and optic tract is extremely rare.
