Tumors involving the sellar area often cause visual disorders due to optic nerves/chiasm compression, so that surgery is required.

Abstract
Tumors involving the sellar area often cause visual disorders due to optic nerves/chiasm compression, so that surgery is required. However the likelihood of visual improvement/restoration is variable. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a valid diagnostic tool for defining pathological conditions of the optic apparatus. We herein investigated the role of the SD-OCT and the best corrected visual acuity in predicting postoperative visual recovery, in patients complaining of chiasm compression due to sellar-suprasellar lesions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
