Purpose : To investigate the clinical manifestation of damage of visual function causedby pituitary adenoma.
Methods: Visual acuity, visual field, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), pattemvisual 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 visualfield and 88.9%(160 eyes) with abnormal PVEP. Abnormal ophalmological manifestationwas the first diagnostic symptom in 26.2%, and 16.7% was misdiagnosed as eye diseases.
Conclusions: Pituitary tumor could cause defection of visual function. lt is helpful toearly diagnosis and timely treatment by fully understanding clinical features in the eyewith pituitary tumor.
