What is Chiasmal Herniation Following Treatment of Pituitary Macroadenoma about?
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate whether the occurrence of chiasmal herniation coincides with visual field (VF) deterioration and to compare the course of VF defects in patients with and without radiological chiasmal herniation following treatment of pituitary adenoma. ## Methods This retrospective cohort study included 48 pituitary macroadenoma patients with chiasm compression, divided into three groups: Group 1 (N = 12), downward displaced optic chiasm and deteriorated VFs; Group 2 (N = 16), downward displaced optic chiasm; Group 3 (N = 20), control-group matched for tumour size and follow-up VFs, in mean deviation (dB). VFs were compared over time and a severity index, Chiasm Herniation Scale (CHS), for herniation based on radiological parameters was designed. ## Results After treatment, all groups showed improvement of VFs (Gr1: 2.97 dB p = 0.097, Gr2: 4.52 dB p = 0.001 and Gr3: 5.16 dB p = 0.000), followed by long-term gradual deterioration. The course of VFs between patients with and without herniation was not significantly different (p = 0.143), neither was there a difference in the course before and after herniation (p = 0.297). The median time till onset of herniation wa
