The case of a woman presenting unusual bilateral campimetric defects following transphenoidal surgery is presented. The defects, consisting of a necklace of small round scotomas, disappeared after a corticosteroid treatment. A postoperative inflammatory mechanism may explain these unusual visual field abnormalities. |
