Abstrakt: Purpose: To investigate the clinical manifestation of damage of visual function caused by pituitary adenoma.
Methods: Visual acuity, visual field, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP) and examination fundus were performed in 126 cases (252 eyes) of pituitary tumor.
Results: There was 73.8% (186 eyes) of patients with decreased visual acuity, 51.6% (130 eyes) with primary optic atrophy, 69.6% (156 eyes) with the defects of visual field and 88.9% (160 eyes) with abnormal PVEP. Abnormal ophthalmological manifestation was the first diagnostic symptom in 26.2%, and 16.7% was misdiagnosed as eye diseases.
Conclusions: Pituitary tumor could cause defection of visual function. It is helpful to early diagnosis and timely treatment by fully understanding clinical features in the eye with pituitary tumor.
