Purpose:We compared Humphrey Matrix FDT 30-2 (FDT) and Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer 30-2 SITA standard (SAP) in the assessment of anterior (optic nerve or chiasm) and posterior (retro-chiasmal) afferent visual pathway defects.Materials and Methods:In this retrospective comparative study, the charts of 37 patients (16 males, range 13-84 years, mean 72.1), with neuro-ophthalmic visual field defects who were tested with both FDT and SAP, were reviewed. Two masked graders assessed the concordance and extent of field defects between the perimeters. The mean concordance between anterior and posterior disease was compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. The mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD) of each perimeter were correlated with the Spearman coefficient.Results:Twenty-eight patients had anterior and nine had posterior disease. Most had a fair or good concordance (89.3% anterior, 88.9% posterior). When comparing anterior to posterior disease, the mean concordance of the defects of the two parameters was not statistically different (P = 0.94 and P = 0.61 for total deviation and pattern deviation, respectively). The MD and PSD between perimeters had a significant correlation.Conclusions:Our series, using 30-2 field analysis, demonstrates fair to good correlation between FDT and SAP in the majority of patients. In roughly 10% findings between FDT and SAP were discordant. This difference was similar for anterior and posterior disease.

“…29 While the HFA is the gold standard in perimetry, frequency-doubling technology (FDT) is also popular. The first genera-tion FDT perimeter of Welch Allyn was not sufficiently sensitive to reliably detect hemianopic and quadrantopic visual field defects [30][31][32][33] but the second generation FDT perimeter (Humphrey Matrix) has an improved sensitivity. The HFA is still considered more sensitive than the Matrix in detecting neurological hemianopias.…”

Pituitary macroadenoma: a case report and review

Pituitary adenomas are the most common tumours of the sellar region. They generally have a slow but severe impact on vision due to compression of the optic nerves, optic chiasm and cavernous sinus. This case report reviews the clinical presentation, management and treatment of the major classifications of pituitary adenoma. As Australian optometrists perform over 300,000 visual field assessments per year, it is vital they are aware of this important cause of visual field loss.

“…PAs are classified according to the type of hormone they produce; if PA does not produce any hormone, it is called inactive PA. Also, PAs can be invasive and noninvasive, recurrent and non-recurrent 4 . Even if PA usually is non-malignant, it tends to recur locally after excision [4][5] . Another problem is the aggressiveness of PA -it does not have a capsule and can grow invasively into surrounding tissues 6 .…”

Aim. The aim was to evaluate the association of CETP (rs5882 and rs708272) single nucleotide polymorphisms with the presence, invasiveness, hormonal activity and recurrence of pituitary adenoma (PA). Methods. The study group included 142 patients with PA and the control group, 753 healthy subjects. The genotyping of CETP (rs5882 and rs708272) was performed using a real-time PCR method. Results. After statistical analysis we found that CETP rs708272 genotype G/A under the over-dominant model was associated with the decreased odds of PA (OR=0.637; 95%CI: 0.443-0.917; P=0.015), active PA (OR=0.538; 95%CI: 0.335-0.865; P =0.01) and non-recurrent PA (OR=0.602; 95% CI: 0.402-0.902; P =0.014). When compared to controls, the rs708272 genotype G/A was less frequent in the active PA subgroup (37.5% vs 52.7%, P =0.009) and the non-recurrent PA subgroup (40.2% vs 52.7%, P=0.013), while the rs5882 genotype A/A was less frequent in the non-recurrent PA subgroup (37.5% vs 46.2%, P=0.015). Conclusion. Our study showed that CETP rs708272 genotype G/A may be associated with a decreased risk of PA.

Frequency doubling perimetry in patients with mild and moderate pituitary tumor-associated visual field defects detected by conventional perimetry

Abstract: Threshold FDT perimetry seems to be a sensitive instrument for identifying abnormality in eyes with chiasmal compression-induced field defects detected on conventional perimetry.
