Özet: Diabetes is considered an epidemic of our age and the prevalence of the whole world is rapidly increasing. Diabetes is predisposing to the development of many diseases and adverse events. Diabetic retinopathy is the most important cause of blindness in middle and advanced age; is the third cause of blindness in developed countries. However, there are many reasons for slow vision loss other than diabetic retinopathy. Slow-developing visual loss is most often due to cataracts, eye defects, diabetes, age-related yellow spot disease. Sudden elevation of eye pressure, such as eye infection, can also cause permanent visual loss with pain. In many neurological diseases, complaints about vision can occur. These include optic neuritis, blockage of the optic nerve, ocular neural tumors, pituitary gland tumors, cerebral vascular occlusions and genetic diseases. We present to our endocrinology outpatient clinic a case of complete loss of vision for 5 years, but a giant suprasellar mass is detected in the examination and a diagnosis of menengioma after that.
