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...

Sixty-two eyes with chiasmal compression for which preoperative and postoperative (4–6 months) OCT, OCT-A, visual field (VF), and comprehensive ophthalmic data were available, and 44 healthy eyes were evaluated.

Preoperative peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness, and vessel densities of SRCP and RPC segments in patients’ eyes were significantly reduced compared to those of healthy controls (P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, P = 0.0052, and P = 0.0085, respectively).

There were also significant associations between postoperative SRCP vessel density changes and VF changes (r = − 0.2586, P = 0.0424).
