    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Pinealoma is a rare tumor affecting the pineal gland.
    • Early detection of pinealoma is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with disorientation, dizziness, frontal headaches, and visual disturbances.
    • Ophthalmological examination revealed reduced near vision, binocular vision anomalies, Collier's sign, and abnormal pupillary findings.

    Findings:

    • The patient's clinical presentation and examination findings were consistent with a diagnosis of pinealoma.
    • Metastatic spread of the tumor was identified, indicating a poor prognosis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of a thorough ophthalmological evaluation in patients with neurological symptoms.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management of metastatic pinealoma are critical for improving patient survival and quality of life.
