Bir Olgu Sebebiyle Tek Taraflı Optik Atrofi Etiyolojisinde Hipofiz Adenomlarının Yeri

Year 2017, Volume: 27 Issue: 2, 76 - 79, 01.06.2017

Abstract

Hipofiz adenomları gerçek kapsül ihtiva etmeyen adenohipofizyel hücrelerden oluşan metastaz yapmayan neoplazilerdir. Hipofiz adenomları intrakraniyel kitlelerin %10-15'ini oluştururlar. En sık 3-6. dekadlarda görülürken, çocuklarda nadirdir. Hipofiz adenomları boyut olarak 1 cm’den küçük ise mikroadenom, 1 cm’den büyük ise makroadenom olarak sınıflandırılır. Mikroadenomların aksine makroadenomlar görsel semptomlara, görme alanı defektine ve hipofiz yetmezliğine sebep olabilir. Hipofiz makroadenomları, benign tümöral olgular olarak kabul edilseler de nörovasküler bası ve hipopituitarizm yoluyla klinik tabloyu kötüleştirebilirler. Optik sinire bası yapan tümor patofizyolojik olarak desendan optik atrofiye yol açabilir. Optik diskin atrofik görünümü hastanın görme keskinliğini ve görme kalitesini önemli derecede düşüren, bir takım klinik olaylar zincirinin son basamağı olarak karşımıza çıkan bir tablodur. Bu nedenle takip ve tedavide fikir sahibi olabilmek için optik atrofi ile karşılaşıldığında ayırıcı tanı yapmak, hasta için önem arz etmektedir. Biz bu olguda tek taraflı optik disk atrofisinden yola çıkılarak yapılan görüntüleme sayesinde tanı konulan makroadenom hastasını sunmayı amaçladık

Abstract

Pituitary adenomas are benign neoplasias derived from adenopituitary cells and they don’t have real capsules. Pituitary adenomas constitute 10-15% of all intracranial tumors and they are often diagnosed between 3rdand 6thdecades, rarely seen in children. Pituitary adenomas smaller than 1cm diameter are called as “microadenoma”, otherwise called as “macroadenoma”. Macroadenomas more often could cause visual field defects, visual symptoms and pituitary gland failure than microadenomas. Although macroadenomas are thought to be benign neoplasias, they could cause serious complications related to hypopituitarism and neurovascular mass effect of the tumor to adjecent tissues. Descending optic atrophy could be seen finally because of the pressure effect of pituitary adenoma on optic nerve. Atrophy of the optic nerve could be seen at the end step of pathologic progression of the disease ending with visual loss and visual acquity loss. Therefore differantial diagnosis of optic atrophy is crucial for early diagnosis and management of the patients with macroadenomas. We aimed to present a case with optic atrophy who is eventually diagnosed with pituitary macroadenoma in further radiological imaging
