Symptoms of pituitary cysts

In the early stage of the disease, most of the patients with pituitary cysts have vision or visual field disorders. With the increasing or upward extension of the tumor, the tumor will compress the optic chiasm of the patients, and then the visual field defects will appear. If the pituitary cyst is not treated in time, with the continuous deterioration of the disease, it will make the patient's vision continue to decline, even lead to blindness.

If the patients with pituitary cysts do not receive treatment as soon as possible, with the continuous expansion or upward growth of the tumor, the tumor will block the anterior part of the third ventricle and the interventricular foramen of the patients, and then the patients will have headache, vomiting and increased intracranial pressure.

As the cyst will continue to grow upward and compress the pituitary stalk or hypothalamus, patients often have polydipsia and polyuria. If the tumor continues to grow laterally, it will invade the cavernous sinus wall of the patient, and then the symptoms of oculomotor nerve or abducent nerve paralysis will appear. In severe cases, it may compress the brain stem of the patient, and then there will be serious consequences such as coma or paralysis.
