Abstract :

Pituitary adenomas are the most common tumours of the sellar region. They generally have a slow but severe impact on vision due to compression of the optic nerves, optic chiasm and cavernous sinus. They can have varied presentation depending on the size, location and extension of the mass and its relation to the surrounding structures. This 8 case series reviews the clinical presentation, varied visual field defects, histopathological and neuroimaging findings and the management of the pituitary adenomas.
