Changes in parafoveal and peripapillary perfusion after decompression surgery in chiasmal compression due to pituitary tumors

Abstract We evaluated changes in parafoveal and peripapillary vessel density in chiasmal compression after decompression surgery using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). Sixty-two eyes with chiasmal compression for which preoperative and postoperative (4–6 months) OCT, OCT-A, visual f...
