Retrochiasmal Lesions Last Updated on Fri, 09 Jun 2017 | Visual Acuity Etiology: Retrochiasmal lesions may result from a wide variety of neurologic disorders such as tumors, vascular insults, basal meningitis, aneurysms of the posterior communicating artery, abscesses, injuries (such as a contrecoup injury to the occipital lobe), and vasospasms (in an ocular migraine).
The HPV vaccine you are getting is one of two vaccines that can be given to prevent HPV. It may be given to both males and females. This vaccine can prevent most cases of cervical cancer in females, if it is given before exposure to the virus. In addition, it can prevent vaginal and vulvar cancer in females, and genital warts and anal cancer in both males and females. Protection from HPV vaccine is expected to be long-lasting.
Why get vaccinated? HPV vaccine is an inactivated (not live) vaccine which protects against four major types of HPV. These include two types that cause about 70% of cervical cancer and two types that cause about 90% of genital warts. HPV vaccine can prevent most genital warts and most cases of cervical cancer. Protection from HPV vaccine is expected to be long-lasting. But vaccinated women still need cervical cancer screening because the vaccine does not protect against all HPV types that cause cervical cancer.
