We report the unusual presentation of a TRb in a 12-month-old boy with extensive bilateral Rb, a voluminous suprasellar tumor, pineal cyst, and leptomeningeal disease. The special features of this "quadrilateral" Rb are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
By Luis Moreno Sánchez, MD, Frankie Viñals, MD, Enrique Mendoza, MD, Nathalie González Cazaño, MD, and Mario Ruiz MD CASE SUMMARY A 72-year-old woman with a one-month history of blurred vision, diplopia, left ptosis, dizziness and limited walking ability[appliedradiationoncology.com]
In some cases, a JPA may also be associated with seizures, vision problems such as blurred vision or double vision (diplopia), gradual changes in behavior or mood, and weakness of the arms and legs resulting in coordination difficulties.[rarediseases.org]
Abstract A 37-year-old white woman presented with progressivevisualloss in the right eye. The diagnostic evaluation suggested a tumor in the suprasellar area. At operation an isolated melanoma was found just superior to the sella turcica.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract A case report of ectopic pituitary gland in the suprasellar region of a normal 39-year-old woman with persistent headaches is presented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In 1942, when she was 47 years old, she displayed the first symptoms of a suprasellar brain tumor: headache and hemianopsia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical presentation: A 55-years-old man with a history of persistent headache in the right frontal area for a period of 10 years prior to the admission as well as visual disturbances and decreased libido for 1 year period prior to the admission.[endocrine-abstracts.org]
The next frequent symptoms were headache and generalized lethargy. Diabetes insipidus was a presenting symptom in 4 cases and hydrocephalus was noted in 4 cases preoperatively.[jkns.or.kr]
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]
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]
Combination treatment with metformin and pioglitazone was markedly effective in improving glycemic control. Additionally, metformin treatment showed marked anorectic effects on the hyperphagia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
He responded to treatment with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide. The intracranial lesions seemed to be rare, but important manifestations of the systemic disease, and were clearly visualized by magnetic resonance imaging.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
