<p>When Anne Crile began to experience sudden changes to her vision, she never imagined that her symptoms would lead to the diagnosis of a life-threatening brain tumor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was driving home one night when I noticed starburst patterns in the streetlights,\u201d Anne said. \u201cWhen I\u2019d see something bright then go back to looking at a dark road, my eyes didn\u2019t adjust. In my left eye, everything looked dialed down and muted, like looking through a fog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She shared her symptoms with her optometrist at the USC Roski Eye Institute, <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/ophthalmology\/faculty\/kent-nguyen\/\">Dr. Kent Nguyen<\/a>. Dr. Nguyen performed several tests to determine the cause of Anne\u2019s vision loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer visual acuity and ocular health exam appeared normal,\u201d Dr. Nguyen recalled. \u201cBut when I gave her a red cap desaturation test\u201d\u2014a test to measure Anne\u2019s ability to perceive color saturation\u2014\u201cI noticed her left eye only saw at 80% saturation.\u201d Since new onset colorblindness is rare for a young adult, Dr. Nguyen referred Anne to <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/ophthalmology\/faculty\/kimberly-gokoffski\/\">Dr. Kimberly Gokoffski<\/a>, a Neuro-Ophthalmology specialist, for further evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>In search of an underlying cause, Dr. Gokoffski performed multiple tests on Anne, including the examination of her pupillary response, evaluation of her optic nerve, testing her peripheral vision with a visual field test, and imaging of her optic nerve with ocular coherence tomography. Aside from decreased color perception in her left eye, all testing results came back normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnne still had worrisome signs,\u201d Dr. Gokoffski said. \u201cIt\u2019s not normal for someone to be color blind in only one eye.\u00a0 I knew I wouldn\u2019t be able to sleep at night without knowing what was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gokoffski ordered an MRI scan. Hours after Anne\u2019s MRI, a neuroradiologist called Dr. Gokoffski to share the discovery. They\u2019d found a brain tumor crushing Anne\u2019s pituitary gland and optic chiasm \u2013 where the optic nerves of both eyes meet in the middle of the brain.<\/p>\n<p>When Anne reflects on the moment Dr. Gokoffski delivered the diagnosis, she does not dwell on the frightening news, but on Dr. Gokoffski\u2019s transparency during the conversation. \u201cDr. Gokoffski reassured me that she served at the [USC Brain Tumor Center]. She knew the doctors I would be meeting with personally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe surgeon you\u2019ll be meeting with is someone I would let operate on my kids,\u201d Dr. Gokoffski shared during their conversation.<\/p>\n<p>The USC Brain Tumor Center is a multi-disciplinary team led by Dr. Gokoffski, neurosurgeon <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/faculty-search\/gabriel-zada\/\">Dr. Gabriel Zada<\/a>, and endocrinologist <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/faculty-search\/john-david-carmichael\/\">Dr. John Carmichael<\/a>, created to expediate care for patients who encounter life threatening diseases. Due to its existence, Anne had her first consultation with Dr. Zada three days after her MRI, and surgery two weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe experience leading up to surgery was smooth,\u201d Anne said. \u201cThe handoff felt seamless, and everyone was up to speed with each other\u2019s findings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following Anne\u2019s surgery, her vision began to recover. She came close to normal vision six weeks post-operation, but necessary radiation therapy affected her vision. \u201cMy sight has changed, but I didn\u2019t lose any vision that would impair me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gokoffski assures Anne that she will need to wait a year to fully assess the recovery to her vision. \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to monitor her, but I would say her prognosis is very good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n
