Occurrence After Treatment for Perichiasmatic Neoplasms

Simmons Lessell, MD

JAMA. 1975;234(3):305-306.

Abstract
Unilateral exophthalmos developed shortly after treatment in three patients with chromophobe adenoma of the pituitary gland and craniopharyngioma. In two patients, the exophthalmos followed surgery, while in the third it did not appear until after radiation treatment. The pathogenesis of the exophthalmos in these cases is obscure. However, the other findings and subsequent course indicate that the exophthalmos is not due to recurrence of the neoplasm nor to a complication of therapy.
