Visual Outcomes After Pituitary Surgery - 28/08/19

Résumé |
Visual signs and symptoms are a common manifestation of pituitary adenomas from compression or ischemia of the optic nerves and optic chiasm. Although bitemporal hemianopsia is a classic presenting visual field deficit, additional visual disturbances can result from these tumors. After endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery, most patients have improvement in visual symptoms. Preoperative factors including retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, severity of preoperative deficit, duration of visual symptoms, tumor size, extent of resection, and patient age serve as possible predictors of postoperative visual outcomes.
