Can pituitary tumors cause blindness? How to treat blindness caused by pituitary tumors

If a pituitary tumor causes blindness, drug treatment can be considered first. However, if there is no obvious improvement after drug treatment, surgical treatment can also be chosen. In addition to surgical treatment, in order to effectively reduce sequelae, you can also choose the more advanced CyberKnife treatment in current medicine.

Pituitary tumor is a common tumor in the brain. Once a tumor occurs, it will make people feel very scared. In fact, the risk of pituitary tumor may also vary significantly due to gender. The chance of pituitary tumor is more likely to occur in women. This is a more serious disease and may even cause blindness. So, how to treat blindness caused by pituitary tumor?

1. Drug treatment

If a pituitary tumor causes blindness, the first thing to do is to choose drug treatment. Drug treatment has a wide range of uses and has a better effect during the treatment process, such as faster absorption. These drugs will quickly enter the human brain. After stopping the drug, there may be a chance of recurrence, so when choosing to take the drug, you must persist for a long time and cannot stop it randomly.

2. Surgical treatment

Once a pituitary tumor causes blindness, surgical treatment can also be chosen. However, there are many different ways of surgical treatment. Relatively speaking, the surgical operation is more complicated and has higher technical difficulty. The risk is also relatively high, and tumor tissue may remain. Therefore, it is recommended not to choose repeated treatment, otherwise there is a high chance of recurrence.

3. CyberKnife Treatment

Current medicine has already entered a stage of rapid improvement. In fact, in addition to drug treatment and surgical treatment, you can also choose CyberKnife treatment, which is a device that specially selects imaging technology. Therefore, various symptoms can be understood during the entire treatment process. During the treatment, the irradiation will also be performed along with the patient's breathing, which has the effect of real-time compensation and correction, and can effectively ensure the accuracy of the operation.

After treatment, it can be effectively ensured that all the radiation can be irradiated on the tumor without affecting the surrounding tissues and structures, and basically no side effects will occur. Many patients will find no abnormalities after treatment.
