A patient with hyperprolactinemia, amenorrhea and an enlarged sella turcica, but without galactorrhea, was treated with bromocriptin to effect restoration of ovarian function. The subsequent pregnancy was without problems from an obstetric point of view, but visual field abnormalities developed progressively, leading to termination of the pregnancy in the 39th wk. Within 1 wk after delivery, field defects disappeared and visual acuity returned to normal.
