Transsphenoidal chiasmapexy for correction of posthypophysectomy traction syndrome of optic chiasm. Case report

R E Decker et al. J Neurosurg. 1977 Apr.

Abstract

Postoperative improvement occurred as a result of transsphenoidal chiasmapexy in a patient with posthypophysectomy visual loss. Traction injury of the optic chiasm may have been caused by a deficient diaphragma sellae and inadequate packing and repair of the sella floor. A cartilaginous seal is recommended.
