Abstrakt:	Purpose: To determine the characteristics of 50 cases of pituitary tumor. Methods: The medical records of 50 cases of pituitary tumor found in glaucoma patients treated between June 2013 and June 2014 were reviewed. Results: There were 37 women and 13 men whose average age was 55.7 years with a range of 24 to 79 years. The glaucoma was unilateral in 19 and bilateral in 31. The pituitary tumors were classified as Rathke's Cleft Cyst (RCC) in 38 cases (76%), RCC with Cushing disease in 5 (10%), adenoma in 4 (8%), adenoma + growth hormone (GH) producing tumors in 2 (4%), and RCC with adenoma in 1 (2%). Of the 50 patients, 23 were treated by surgery (46%), 2 (4%) by hormone supplement therapy, 2 (4%) rejected therapy, and 23 (46%) were followed without treatment. The visual field defects corresponded with typical pituitary visual field defects in 26 (52%) cases, with that typical of unilateral glaucoma in 6 (23%), and with that typical of bilateral glaucoma in 20 (77%) cases. The major symptom was headaches in 24 (48%), headache with dizziness in 10 (20%), dizziness in only 8 (16%), and no complaints in 8 (16%). Conclusions: Fifty patients diagnosed with glaucoma had concurrent pituitary tumors. Special attention must be paid to glaucoma patients who complain of headaches with and without dizziness.
