| Summary: |
We are presenting efficacy of perimetry and
electrophysiological tests in diagnosis of pituitary tumours on the basis of world
literature and our experiences. The most useful test in diagnosis of pituitary adenomas is
perimetry, especially "blue on yellow" test. In perimetry the most characteristic
feature are bitemporal defects. Pattern VEP even using multichannel technique is less
sensitive compare to visual field analyses but in some cases it is only one test which
show visual pathway disturbances. PERG can have prognostic value in patient who need
surgery. |
