Evaluation of the Effect of Optic Nerve Compression by Craniopharyngioma on Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Pediatric Patients
CP is associated with significant reductions in RNFL thickness, indicating the tumor's impact on optic nerve fibers. OCT is a valuable tool for monitoring visual pathway impairment and postoperative outcomes. Correlations between RNFL thickness in individual sectors and clinical parameters may offer valuable insights for diagnosis and monitoring, underlining their potential role in predicting visual outcomes. Regular RNFL evaluation should be integrated into the long-term care of CP patients to optimize visual prognosis and detect progressive or residual damage.
