Neurosurgeons saved the sight of 29-year-old Volgograd, removing her tumor

Doctors of the Volgograd Regional Clinical Hospital helped the 29-year-old woman to see the world again. Vision faded rapidly, and the reason for this was a tumor that compressed the optic nerves.

In VOKB No. 1, the patient came with serious complaints. A few months ago, she felt as if her right eye had been wrapped in film. A headache followed, and then the field of vision began to disappear. By the time of hospitalization, the situation was critical: visual acuity fell to hundredths of a share.

The examination put everything in place - pituitary adenoma squeezed the optic nerves. The medical board decided: without surgery can not do. The neoplasm was removed transnasally - through the nasal passage, without touching the surrounding structures.

The fact that the girl began to distinguish the faces of doctors in the first day after the intervention is the best marker of nerve decompression. - notes the neurosurgeon of VOKB No1 Egor Berezin. Now her field of vision and sharpness are almost back to normal. The patient is discharged under the dynamic supervision of an endocrinologist and an ophthalmologist. The main thing is done – the visual functions are fully preserved.”.

While the treatment was underway, the woman celebrated her birthday in the hospital. The best gift for her was to regain her ability to see. “The operation went very well. I could see right away. It’s as if your vision has rolled back a few years – to basic settings. The medical staff, the doctors are absolutely sympathetic. Thank you for your concern
