Abstract
✓ The authors report a case in which a suprasellar germinoma (ectopic pinealoma) was mistakenly interpreted as an optic glioma. The proper diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for the management of this lesion are discussed, emphasizing recognition of the characteristic triad of visual loss, hypopituitarism, and diabetes insipidus, as well as verification by biopsy and adequate radiation therapy.
