Abstract
Pituitary tumours, of which prolactinoma is the commonest variety, account for 10-15% of brain tumours. Clinically, they present as functioning or non-functioning pituitary adenomas. A variety of visual presentations of pituitary adenomas have been reported, including absence of clinical symptoms or deterioration of visual acuity, visual field affection, and partial or complete ophthalmoplegia. Although rare, non-secretory pituitary macroadenoma variety of Pituitary tumor can present as Optic atrophy, due to their pressure effect. We describe a rare case of Pituitary Macroadenoma which presented as bilateral optic atrophy without any other associated finding. We also explain the immense diagnostic importance of X-ray skull (lateral view) in such patients.
