Abstract

We studied eight patients who had visual field defects secondary to prolactin-secreting macroadenomas and who had improved visual function with bromocriptine treatment without surgery or radiation. We recommend bromocriptine as a primary treatment for prolactin-secreting macroadenomas. If therapy is effective, continued regular neuro-ophthalmologic, endocrine, and imaging studies are necessary, because treatment with bromocriptine must be continued indefinitely.
