Influence of Tumor Characteristics on Visual Field Outcomes After Pituitary Adenoma Surgery.

Background: There were few reports about the influence of tumor characteristics on the postoperative visual field outcomes after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma. The purpose of this study was to explore the tumor characteristics that influenced perioperative visual field changes.

Methods: Patients who underwent transsphenoidal surgery under a diagnosis of pituitary adenoma at the Kyoto University Hospital between April 2012 and December 2018 were retrospectively enrolled.

Bilateral Orbital Inflammation as a Manifestation of Paraneoplastic Syndrome.

Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNS) constitute a rare group of disorders whose optimal treatment is yet to be established. We report a patient with bilateral orbital inflammation associated with PNS, who responded well to surgical resection of the primary tumor. An 83-year-old woman was referred to our department for treatment of a progressive reduction in visual acuity and palpebral swelling in both eyes for the past 2 months.

Analysis of Retinal Nerve Fibre Thickening in Progressive and Non-progressive Non-arteritic Anterior Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy Using Optical Coherence Tomography.

The study aims to investigate the longitudinal changes in the circumpapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (cpRNFLT) in progressive and non-progressive non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION). This retrospective observational case series study analysed 17 eyes with NAION. Patients sustaining any additional visual loss (additional decrease in visual acuity (VA) ≥0.
