As this paper will be limited to the cases of pituitary adenoma, cranio-<br />

pharyngioma <strong>and</strong> meningioma, all chiasmal lesions due to optic glioma,<br />

ectopic pinealmoma etc. are excluded.<br />

The cases have been divided into three groups based on the type of the<br />

visual field defects observed.<br />

The first group shows a typical progression of the defect, starting with<br />

the early loss in the upper temporal quadrant, then affecting in a clockwise<br />

movement the right field <strong>and</strong> in an anticlockwise movement the left field.<br />

Classified in the second group is the appearance of amaurosis of one eye<br />

with following field defects in the other eye. Atypical interferences of the<br />

visual field figure in the third group.<br />
