An examination of her visual fields revealed bitemporalhemianopsia. Her corrected visual acuity with eye glasses was insufficient.[semanticscholar.org]
Physical examinations were normal except bitemporalhemianopsia revealed by ophthalmic examination. Preoperative neuroendocrine examinations showed a mild hyperprolactinemia of 72.3ng/ml (normal range, 2.8 ng/ml-29.2 ng/ml).[path.upmc.edu]
His vision postoperatively showed a persistent bitemporalhemianopsia, but with significant improvement in visual acuity to 20/40 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye.[healio.com]
Case report A 68-year-old man was examined for bitemporalhemianopsia and falling episodes. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 32 mm spontaneously hyperdense suprasellar mass (Fig. 1 ). No calcification was noted.[jbsr.be]
In four of the five known cases, bitemporalhemianopsia was the primary complaint (Table 1). Our patient’s only symptom was diplopia. Other symptoms reported to mimic pituitary adenomas are acromegaly, amenorrhea, and hypopituitarism (Table 1).[barrowneuro.org]
It is crucial to have a multidisciplinary team approach with baseline and follow up endocrine workup.[abstracts.eurospe.org]
It is important to note that while a sellar mass may present with bitemporal hemianopia, the combination of findings described above describing a junctional scotoma also localizes to the sellar area, and additional workup is indicated.[webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

However, in many cases CT and MRI imaging data can be complementary and thus on a case-by-case basis both imaging studies may be indicated. [13] Cerebral angiography is not performed routinely in the workup of sellar mass lesions.[emedicine.medscape.com]
