Summary

This study investigates the retinal vascular features, using optical coherence tomography angiography, in patients during one year's follow up after the endoscopic endonasal surgery to remove an intra-suprasellar pituitary adenoma compressing the optic nerve.

Detailed description

The role of the optical coherence tomography angiography to detect the changes in retinal vascular networks in patients after 48 hours and 1 year from the endoscopic endonasal surgery to remove an intra-suprasellar pituitary adenoma compressing the optic nerve. The optical coherence tomography angiography allows a detailed and quantitative analysis of the retinal vascular networks and to follow their changes over time.

Conditions

• Pituitary Adenoma
