Abstract

Presentation of Case A 62-year-old woman was seen in the neuro-oncology clinic because of a question of a suprasellar tumor. There was a 15-to-20-year history of “migraine headaches,” with nausea and vomiting. The patient was well otherwise until six months earlier, when she experienced the first of several episodes of visual blurring and horizontal diplopia for a few minutes, associated with headache. A cranial computed tomographic (CT) scan at another hospital showed “a tumor near the pituitary gland.” A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the cranium verified the finding. Midline frontal headaches continued and occurred weekly; they persisted for . . .
