| Popis: | We reviewed all of the cases of p i tu i tary chromophobe adenoma t rea ted only surgically during the period January 1950 through December 1958. Cases in which circumstances interfered with precise evaluation of preoperat ive or postoperat ive status of vision were eliminated. Thus, we excluded cases in which (1) adequate and satisfactory followup for a minimum of ~ years could not be obtained; (~) cases in which roentgen-ray therapy was administered postoperat ively; (3) cases in which roentgen-ray the rapy had been given within the year prior to operation; (4) cases in which the postoperat ive course was complicated to such a degree tha t we could not evaluate accurately the result of the initial operation (in other words, cases in which reoperation was carried out for massive postoperat ive clot, cases in which mental changes vi t iated proper evaluation, and so forth); (5) cases in which cataract , glaucoma, or other nonrelated complications developed some t ime after the p i tu i tary operation; (6) cases in which death resulted from other causes during the first ~ years after operation; (7) cases in which the tumor extended to involve other cranial nerves; and (8) cases in which the tumor penet ra ted into the 3rd ventricle or under the hypothalamus or into the lateral ventricle, necessitating other than the usual surgical procedure for p i tu i tary adenoma. With these cases excluded, 71 cases were accepted as suitable |
