A pediatric sellar mass was diagnosed as a chiasmatic/hypothalamic glioma in an eight-year-old girl presenting with vision loss. This case highlights the importance of considering gliomas in the differential diagnosis of sellar masses in children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Neuro-Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Sellar masses are rare in children, presenting a diagnostic challenge.
  • Optic atrophy and vision loss can be presenting symptoms of sellar region tumors.

Observation:

  • An eight-year-old female presented with progressive vision loss and optic atrophy.
  • Neuro-imaging identified a sellar mass.
  • Biopsy confirmed a chiasmatic/hypothalamic glioma.

Findings:

  • Chiasmatic/hypothalamic gliomas are a significant cause of vision impairment in pediatric patients.
  • Differential diagnosis for pediatric sellar masses includes various neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities.

Implications:
