Woman with Acromegaly Presenting as Unilateral Vision Loss

Woman with Acromegaly Presenting as Unilateral Vision Loss
This article describes the experience of researchers affiliated with the University of South Florida College of Medicine and their treatment of a 36-year-old-woman with acromegaly presenting as unilateral vision loss. She “underwent resection of a macroadenoma,” but because “only part of the tumor could be removed,” was prescribed maintenance corticosteroid dosage, radiation therapy, octreotide, and pegvisomant. The case presentation is followed by a discussion of “current concepts in diagnosis and management” of acromegaly.
