Presentation
This unusual presentation is discussed and plausible hypotheses are given. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Synopsis Our patient is a 60-year-old male who presented with hypogonadism and possible mild diabetes insipidus. MRI revealed an atypical suprasellar mass which was excised using an expanded endoscopic endonasal approach. [pituitary.ucla.edu]
Clinical presentation of the patients: Clinical presentation of the patients depends upon the size of the tumor and the type of the tumor. Depending upon the size tumors are divided into 2 types: Large tumors(macro-adenomas). [slideshare.net]
Respiratoric
- Hyposmia
Neurological complaints, such as mild mental or motor dysfunction, vertigo, epileptic attack, hyposmia, were present in a much lower degree (from 2.3 to 9.3% of patients) in addition to oculomotor paresis with subjective complaints of diplopia and proptosis [go.galegroup.com]

Musculoskeletal
- Tinel's Sign
There was no enlargement of his jaws, hands or feet, or Tinel’s sign. His thyroid was palpable but not enlarged, with no discrete nodules. His eye exam showed normal extraocular movements, and pupils were equal, round and reactive to light. [healio.com]
Eyes
- Diplopia
The ocular manifestations included visual loss in 59 (86%), eye pain in six (9%), diplopia in three (4%), and ptosis in one (1%) patient. [jmatonline.com]
Diplopia indicated a possible tumor mass involving the cavernous sinus. [kjim.org]
However, this effect is seen in any condition that causes delayed optic nerve conduction such as multiple sclerosis and retinal disorders.[25] Diplopia Diplopia may be due to a paretic diplopia from ocular motor cranial nerve (e.g., III, IV, VI) paresis [eyewiki.aao.org]
Within months of surgery, the patient’s diplopia and movement of her right eye improved. She had no other neurologic complaints. [barrowneuro.org]
Visual symptoms and signs include vision loss, diplopia, and multiple cranial nerve palsies secondary to rapid expansion of the tumor into the adjacent cavernous sinuses, with cranial nerve III the most commonly affected. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
- Vertical Gaze Palsy
This phenomenon is caused by involvement of midbrain structures adjacent to the pineal GCT and is characterised by vertical gaze palsy, nystagmus on convergence and pupillary dilation with poor reactiveness to light. [tandfonline.com]

- Eye Pain
The ocular manifestations included visual loss in 59 (86%), eye pain in six (9%), diplopia in three (4%), and ptosis in one (1%) patient. [jmatonline.com]
Neurologic
- Headache
A 45-year-old man was seen for urgent evaluation of worsening headaches and loss of vision. He first noticed his symptoms 6 months before the onset of recurrent headaches with blurry and blank spots in his vision. [healio.com]

- Bitemporal Hemianopsia
An examination of her visual fields revealed bitemporal hemianopsia. Her corrected visual acuity with eye glasses was insufficient. [semanticscholar.org]
His vision postoperatively showed a persistent bitemporal hemianopsia, but with significant improvement in visual acuity to 20/40 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. [healio.com]
Physical examinations were normal except bitemporal hemianopsia 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]

- Long Tract Signs
The classic triad of presentation—long tract signs, cranial nerve deficits, and ataxia—is seen simultaneously in 35% of patients, but most patients present with at least one of these symptoms [34]. [ajronline.org]
Workup
It is crucial to have a multidisciplinary team approach with baseline and follow up endocrine workup. [abstracts.eurospe.org]
[…] massive MRI: High signal intensity on T1 weighted images Heterogeneous enhancement Fluid levels consistent with cystic components CT: Better than MRI at showing calcifications Laboratory Same for both types of craniopharyngiomas Full pituitary endocrine workup [pathologyoutlines.com]
The clinical workup for CNS germ cell tumors includes examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood for markers of differentiation, specifically β-hCG and α-fetoprotein (AFP). [neupsykey.com]
Initial workup, including CT and MRI of the brain is shown (Fig. 1). [jaocr.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]
X-Ray
- Pulmonary Infiltrate
A repeat CT scan of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis showed extensive metastatic disease involving mediastinal, subcarinal, and hilar lymph nodes, causing occlusion of the right main bronchus and right pulmonary infiltrates. [thejns.org]
Biopsy
- Liver Biopsy
The role of liver biopsy in fatty liver disease is contentious, not least because liver biopsy carries a finite risk of death ( 6 ) and the prognosis of NAFLD acquired in childhood is not yet known. [journals.lww.com]
Treatment
It also includes classic radiographic presentations and treatment considerations for each lesion. © The Author(s) 2015. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment Selection: Treatment choice depends upon the 1. Presenting problems and patient’s reuirements. 2. Patient’s age. 3. Preference and experience of the treatment centre. [slideshare.net]
However, treatment strategies of adult ATRT may be different from that of pediatric ATRT. [btrt.org]
Treatment depends upon the underlying cause but often requires surgical decompression. [tuftsmedicalcenter.org]
Prognosis
Although rare, pure suprasellar germinomas carry worse prognosis than other locations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and prognosis In general, a biopsy is required as treatment and prognosis will vary with histology (whereas it is independent of location). [radiopaedia.org]
Key words: Prognosis; Visual Acuity; Meningioma; Optic Chiasm; Neurosurgical Procedures; Treatment Outcome; Recovery of Function Uvod. [go.gale.com]
Prognosis is dependent upon the tumor type, the most common of which is a germinoma which has a peak incidence during pubescence. Prognosis for germinomas is generally good with a 10-year survival rate over 90% after radiation therapy. [jaocr.org]
Prognosis A prognosis is an estimate of the likely progress of a disease after a diagnosis, based on an average patient group. [braintumour.ca]
Etiology
In 183 short chapters, the book provides the essentials clinicians need on symptoms/signs, diagnostic tests, and neurologic disorders of all etiologies. For this edition, Timothy A. [books.google.es]
[…] signs; (3) endocrine disturbances are highly frequent before surgery, while surgical intervention had little effect in increasing endocrine morbidity; (4) NEC, even though producing less endocrine dysfunctions than other tumor types, are an important etiology [karger.com]
A malignant etiology should be suspected if osteolysis is present. The presentation may be variable between an enlargement of the pituitary stalk or sellar and suprasellar tumor. [neurochirurgica.org]
LCH is a rare disease of uncertain etiology which typically presents in children under two years of age, is more common in boys, and may involve any organ system. [jaocr.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology As a general rule, brain tumors increase in frequency with age, with individual exceptions (e.g. pilocytic astrocytoma, the vast majority of which are found in young patients), and a number of uncommon tumors found in infancy (see brain tumors [radiopaedia.org]
