French term or phrase: voussure focale du diaphragme sellaire
This a diagnose of brain tumor.

I would like to know what "voussure focale" means in this context. Also would like to know the precise translation of whole of sentence. Basically, I have a visoon problem but would like to know if this tumor is related to nerve compression or not.


Context : Formation nodulaire située dans la portion supérieure et paramédiane gauche de l'antéhypophyse de 5 x 3 x 4 mm, compatible avec un éventuel adénome responsable d'une discrète voussure focale de du diaphragme sellaire sans toutefois de contact direct avec le chiasma.

English translation:focal bulging of diaphragma sellae
Explanation:
It says there is a small nodule (tumor) in the upper part of the pituitary gland, causing local bulging of the membrane that is situated above the gland, but the bulge does not reach as far as the visual nerves which run above the membrane.

Solely based on this sentence, there is no evidence that the vision problem is caused by visual nerve compression. But solely based on this sentence, it cannot be ruled out that there is compression or some other problem elsewhere. Why don't you discuss the situation with your doctor?
