|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Chen et al. (2013) | Female/58 years | Pituitary adenoma | Diplopia, decreased vision of left eye | MRI: A cystic-solid mass in intra/suprasellar region, solid mass revealing iso-T1, and-T2 signal intensity, with obvious enhancement | Transsphenoidal Radiotherapy after operation | Nearly total tumor resection | Left vision improved No recurrence was found in 1 year |
Liu et al. (2012) | Male/40 years | Pituitary adenoma | Dizziness blurring of left eye | CT: An irregular hyper-dense mass in intra/suprasellar region | Transpterional Without radiotherapy after operation | Total tumor resection | Left vision improved No recurrence was found in 1.5 year |
Pang et al. (2010) | Female/66 years | Pituitary adenoma or Craniopharyngioma | Decreased vision of bilateral eyes, headache, apathy | MRI: An irregular nodular enhanced mass in suprasellar cistern (cavernous sinus invaded) | Transpterional, Radiotherapy after operation | Subtotal tumor resection | Left vision improved and headache relieved. No recurrence was found in 1.25 year |
Zhu and Liu (2012) | Female/32 years | Craniopharyngioma | Decreased vision, symptoms of HCP | CT: A slightly hyperdense mass insellar region, with cystic degeneration. | Transsphenoidal Radiotherapy after operation | partial tumor resection | Vision improved and headache relieved. No recurrence was found in 1 year |
Wang et al. (2012) | Female/50 years | Pituitary adenoma or Craniopharyngioma | Decreased vision,, bitemporal hemianopia | MRI: A mass insellar region, extended to sphenoid and cavernous sinus CT: Spot calcification | Transsphenoidal Radiotherapy after operation | Partial tumor resection | Vision improved, no recurrence was found in 1 year |
Yang et al. (2009) | Female/46 years | Meningioma | Decreased vision of bilateral eyes | MRI: A round mixed signal intensity insellar region, with slight enhancement | Transpterional, radiotherapy after operation | Partial tumor resection | Right vision improved, but tumor recurred in 6 months |
Kawaji (2014) | Male/48 years | Pituitary adenoma | Decreased vision | CT: An suprasellar isodense mass MRI: A round suprasellar mix-signal intensity, with obvious enhancement | Bi-subfrontal Radiotherapy after operation | Partial tumor resection | Vision improved, and residual tumor disappeared after radiotherapy, but brain and spinal cord metastasis was found in 6 years later |
Wang et al. (2013) | Female/23 years | Pituitary adenoma | Decreased vision, headache | CT: A hyper-density mass in sellar region MRI: intense homogeneous enhancement | Transsphenoidal, radiotherapy after operation | Partial tumor resection | Vision improved and headache relieved |
Present case | Male/25 years | Pituitary adenoma or meningioma | Decreased vision in left eye | MRI: A roundish mass in the sellar and suprasellar region | Transpterional, radiotherapy after operation | Subtotal tumor resection | Vision improved |
