Pathology Right Occipital Dural Base Tumor Biopsy: Right Occipital Dural Base Tumor Biopsy: Metastatic carcinoma, consistent with renal cell carcinoma
Postoperative CT Head Postoperative changes from posterior occipital craniotomy are noted with resection of the previously noted enhancing right cuneus mass with no residual enhancement noted to suggest residual enhancing tumor, consistent with gross total resection.

Conclusion Detection of field loss may be the first sign of sight-threatening or potentially life-threatening disease. Detection of field loss may be the first sign of sight-threatening or potentially life-threatening disease. CVF has limited sensitivity compared with Goldmann or Humphrey VF CVF has limited sensitivity compared with Goldmann or Humphrey VF Even the best combination of CVF tests will fail to detect more than 20% of lesions, so it is important to use an appropriate technique to maximize sensitivity.
