Chiasmal Herniation as a Complication of Bromocriptine Therapy
J Neuro-Ophthalmol 16:252-257, Taxel,P.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report the development of a visual field abnormally that is explained by chiasmal herniation caused by a shrinking macroprolactinoma.This complication resolved with a decrease in the bromocriptine dose.We suggest that patients undergoing bromocriptine therapy for macroprolactinomas be followed for this potential complication.
