Abstract

A 48-year-old male had blurred vision, narrowed visual field and headache over 6 months. He lost consciousness for which he was brought to the emergency department. Pertinent in the neurologic examination was bitemporal hemianopsia. The rest of the physical and neurological examination was normal. A pituitary mass causing optic chiasmal compression was then suspected.
