[Assessment of compressive optic neuropathy in hipofizar tumors].

Purpose: Assessment of optic nerve head configuration in eyes with compressive optic neuropathy due to pituitary tumors--morphological aspects of "band atrophy" (documented by fundus biomicroscopy and digital stereo disc photography) and quantitative analysis of topographic changes (testing the abilities of HRT and OCT in detection and analysis the specific pattern of nerve fiber layer loss in chiasmal compression).

Material And Methods: Optic disc morphological assessment of compressive optic neuropathy in 56 patients with pituitary macroadenomas (documented by direct ophthalmoscopy, fundus biomicroscopy using Volk lens of 90 degrees and digital stereo disc photography using Zeiss Visucam digital camera). Stereometric analysis of "band atrophy" using HRT in 9 cases and OCT in 5 cases.
