Optical coherence tomography angiography reveals microvascular changes and predicts visual outcomes after decompression surgery for pituitary adenoma
After decompression surgery, retinal vessel densities may further decline at 3 months postoperatively, particularly in patients with severe baseline VFD. Foveal parameters predicted visual acuity in those with mild to moderate VFD, while in severe cases, higher SCP density, RPC density, pRNFL thickness and GCC thickness may serve as prognostic biomarkers for predicting better VF improvement.
