Dr. Siddharam S. Janti, Dr. N. Gayathri

Abstract


AIM OF THE STUDY:

To study the various ophthalmologic manifestations in patients with intracranial space occupying lesions.

To study the visual field defects caused by intracranial space occupying lesions.

MATERIAL AND METHOD:

The study was done on patients who underwent detailed ocular, neurological and systemic examination which also included CT/MRI proven cases of intracranial tumours.

RESULTS: Patients in the age group of 30 to 40 years were affected. Headache was the most usual symptom followed by defective vision. Papilledema was appreciated in the most of the fundus examination . 6th cranial nerve was frequently affected. Peri chiasmal tumours was found to be the to be most regular site of tumour . Visual field defect corresponded with site of tumour.
