Abstract
Pituitary adenomas are relatively common intracranial lesions. Decrease of visual acuity, visual field deficit, and headaches are the neurological signs associated with it commonly seen in ophthalmology. We report 3 cases of recurrent pituitary macroadenoma with different clinical presentations. This case series emphasizes the importance of evaluation and documentation of ophthalmic findings and visual fields in patients with pituitary adenoma pre and post operatively, to estimate the extent of optic pathway involvement.
