Abstract

We aimed to discuss the characteristics and pathophysiology of a 20-year-old female patient with an unusual visual field loss as a painless monocular temporal hemianopia unlike the classic bitemporal hemianopia. The best-corrected visual acuity was 7/10 in the right eye and 10/10 in the left eye. Relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) in the right eye was positive. Monocular visual field defect and pale optic disc was observed in the right eye. The patient was operated with the diagnosis of pituitary macroadenoma in the neurosurgery clinic. In the postoperative examination, the patient’s headache & ocular pain complain were improved but no improvement was observed in the visual field defect. Patients attending to the ophthalmology clinics with decrease in visual acuity should undergo visual field examination. In this way, early treatment and probable postoperative visual field improvement could be obtained

Özet

Bu yazıda hipofiz makroadenomunda beklediğimiz klasik bitemporal hemianopsi şeklinde izlenen görme alanı defektinin aksine ağrısız monoküler temporal hemianopsi olan 28 yaşında genç kadın bir hastanın görme alanı kaybının özelliklerini ve patofizyolojisini tartışmayı amaçladık. En iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği sağ gözde 7/10 ve sol gözde ise 10/10 idi. Nispi afferent pupiller defekt (APD) sağ gözde pozitifti. Optik sinir sağ gözde hafif soluktu. Monoküler temporal görme alanı defekti ve sağ optik disk solukluğu mevcuttu. Hasta beyin cerrahisinde hipofiz makroadenomu tanısıyla opere edildi. Cerrahi sonrası yapılan muayenede hastanın baş ağrısı ve göz ağrısı şikâyetleri düzelmişti ama sağ temporal görme alanındaki defektte düzelme izlenmedi. Sonuç olarak göz kliniğine görme azalması yada görme kaybı ile başvuran hastalara görme alanı testi uygulanması gerekmektedir bu şekilde erken tedavi ve muhtemel cerrahi sonrası görmede ve görme alanında iyileşme de elde edilebilir
