The Role of Optical Coherence Tomography in Early Detection of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Damage in Pituitary Adenoma.

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to differentiate eyes without obvious visual disturbances following pituitary adenomas (PAs) from normal eyes, in order to identify factors that could predict early diagnosis and timely treatment and prevent structural damage of visual pathway in patients with saddle area tumors. The present study was carried out between 2014-2018. Participants were divided into three groups: 23 subjects (44 eyes) in the PAs with visual field involvement (VFI) group, 10 (20 eyes) in the PAs with normal visual field (NVF) group and 22 subjects (44 eyes) in the control group.
