[Neuro-ophthalmological alternations in patients with pituitary adenomas and intrasellar arachnoidocele].
1998
UNLABELLED: INTRODUCTION, MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied 103 patients with hypophyseal tumors aged between 15 and 74, with a marked predominance of females. Results. Of these, 49 patients were diagnosed as having macroadenomas (47.5%), 27 with microadenomas (26.2%), 25 with arachnoidoceles (24.3%) and two with craniopharyngiomas (1.9%). Of the total there were 78.9% functioning tumors of which the commonest was prolactinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Kinetic and static perimetry complement each other as diagnostic methods to obtain information about damage to the visual pathway caused by these tumors.
