Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Pituitary and Suprasellar Lesions: Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis

Introduction: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been used to create high-resolution cross-sectional and three-dimensional images of tissues in a non-invasive, inexpensive, reproducible, and rapid fashion. Because of its ability to measure the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) it has recently evolved as a promising imaging modality for preoperative assessment and prognosis in patients with pituitary and suprasellar lesions with or without optic compression. In this review, we appraised the current literature on the utility of OCT as a diagnostic tool for pituitary lesions and as a predictive factor for postoperative visual function ...
