Zusammenfassung

Kasuistik eines erwachsenen Patienten mit anfangs fluktuierender und schließlich progredienter bitemporaler Hemianopsie. Kernspintomographisch zeigte sich ein zystischer Prozeß suprasellär mit deutlicher Verdrängung des Chiasma opticum. Nach stereotaktisch geführter Punktion der Zyste besserten sich die Gesichtsfelddefekte.
