Bilateral compressive optic neuropathy secondary to tuberculum sella meningioma in pregnancy

A 37-year-old primigravida in her second trimester presented with bilateral painless progressive visual loss. Her vision was hand motion in both eyes. Both pupils were dilated with sluggish reaction to light. Both fundus appeared myopic with bilateral optic atrophy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
