  • Title: [Neuro-ophthalmologic findings in tumors of ventricles I-III].
    Author: Skrzypczak J, Pittasch D, Eichler I, Niebeling HG.
    Journal: Zentralbl Neurochir; 1986; 47(1):28-31. PubMed ID: 3727864.
    Abstract:
    The ophthalmological findings obtained in 254 patients with space occupying processes of the lateral and third ventricles are analysed. Visual disturbances (78%), defects of the visual field (69%), findings of the fundus of the eye (67%) and motility restrictions (24%) were identified. Only in eight per cent the findings of the eye-ground no particular findings were observed. As was expected, signs of cerebral compression were frequently found. Postoperative improvements were found in the choked papilla and motility restrictions were seen where as defects of the visual field and a decrease of the visual acuity were in most cases unchanged or had even increased.
