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. This case report reviews the clinical presentation, management and treatment of the major classifications of pituitary adenoma. As Australian optometrists perform over 300,000 visual field assessments per year, it is vital they are aware of this important cause of visual field loss.
垂体腺瘤是鞍区最常见的肿瘤。由于对视神经、视交叉和海绵窦的压迫，它们通常对视功能有缓慢但严重的影响。本病例报告回顾了垂体腺瘤主要分类的临床表现、管理和治疗。由于澳大利亚验光师每年进行超过30万次视野评估，他们了解这种导致视野缺损的重要病因至关重要。
