Resumen

CACERES TOLEDO, María; MARQUEZ FERNANDEZ, Melba  y  CURRA FABRA, Armando. Hypophyseal tumors: Their repercussion on the visual pathway. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 1999, vol.12, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

The hypophyseal tumors over a cm compress the optical chiasm even more if they grow upwards. 103 patients between 15 and 74 years old and with a clear predominance of females were studied in order to investigate the repercussion of these tumors on the visual pathway. 49 patients were diagnosed macroadenomas (47,5 %), 27 microadenomas (26,2 %), 25 arachnoidels (24,3 %), and 2 craniopharingeoma (1,9 %). The alterations of the visual field detected in these cases by computerized kinetic and static perimetry are included in this paper. The reduction of the extent of the PEV-P in those cases with macroadenoma was of high statistical significance (p <0,003)

Palabras clave : PITUITARY NEOPLASMS; VISUAL PATHWAYS [pathology]; PROLACTINOMA [surgery].
