Large suprasellar aneurysms imitating pituitary tumour

L A Raymond et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1978 Jan.

Abstract

Two patients had large (20--30 mm) suprasellar aneurysms with clinical findings resembling an expanding pituitary tumour. One aneurysm was giant (30 mm). Its delayed diagnosis for six years led to severe chiasmal compression. The other aneurysm was compressing the optic nerve. Visual improvement resulted after surgery.
