3P.2 THE MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA The bilateral simple optic atrophy, with light perception only in the nasal field of the left eye, indicated a lesion in the area of the chiasm, which the X-ray confirmed. The lack of symptoms other than failing vision is striking. It illustrates (1) how long this may be the only symptom complained Case No. 2. Supra-Sellar Cyst. (Calcified.) of, (2) the gradual progressive loss of one eye first then the other, and (3) that the responsibility of determining the cause frequently rests upon the ophthalmologist. Case No. 3. Growth in the Pituitary Fossa. Dr. T. W. C.; white; age 55; when examined 11-18-29 stated that the vision of his left eye had been blurred since July. He had been told this was due to an optic neuritis. The vision was 20/24 minus 1 in each eye, and 20/15 in each eye with his correction. There was no change in the fundi unless the left disc was slightly more distinctly outlined than the right. The right visual field was normal, but the left (with a 0.17 degree test object) showed a marked defect in the upper temporal quadrant. This combined with a definite increase in the size of the sella and apparent thinning of the clinoids made the diagnosis.
