LARGE PITUTARY TUMOUR REMOVED VIA TRANS SPHENOIDAL ROUTE

DONT IGNORE VISUAL LOSS IT MAY BE FIRST SIGN OF PITUTARY TUMOUR

A sixty year old female present to us in OPD with gradually progressive visual loss for past 6 months for which she was prescribed glasses.  But for past one week  she had developed complete visual loss in one eye and only perception of light in other. MRI revealed a large Pitutary tumour compressing the chiasma . Tumour was removed via trans sphenoidal route and vision of the patient was restored
