  • Title: Delayed diagnosis of pituitary tumors.
    Author: Segal AJ, Fishman RS.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1975 Jan; 79(1):77-81. PubMed ID: 1110204.
    Abstract:
    Of 38 patients with presumed or proven pituitary adenomas, 24 first presented with ocular complaints. Of these, ten patients had a physician-caused delay in the formulation of the correct diagnosis. Reasons for the physician-caused delay in diagnosis include inadequate history evaluation, failure to perform adequate testing, provide follow-up examination, and recognize typical signs of pituitary adenomas.
