The aim of the present study is to analyze the changes in retinal vessel density (VD), using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A), in patients that received endoscopic endonasal approach for the removal of an intra-suprasellar pituitary adenoma compressing optic chiasm. We evaluated the VD in Superficial Capillary Plexus (SCP), Deep Capillary Plexus (DCP), Radial Peripapillary Capillary (RPC) and the Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) area in a series of fourteen patients (7 males, 7 females, mean age 56 ± 13 years), as compared to healthy controls. We also detected the structural Spectral Domain (SD)-OCT parameters: Ganglion Cell Complex (GCC), Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL), visual field parameters (Mean Deviation, Pattern Standard Deviation) and Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA). These measurements were performed prior than surgery and 48 hours after. The patients showed a significant decrease in VD of the macular and papillary regions, a significant increase in FAZ area, a significant impairment in SD-OCT, VF parameters and BCVA respect to 14 eyes of 14 healthy controls (p<0.05), at pre-op evaluation. In patients group the VD in SCP, DCP and RPC increased after surgery respect to baseline but the difference turned to be out statistically significant only in RPC (p = 0.003). Also the BCVA (p = 0.040) and the Mean Deviation at visual field (p = 0.015) significantly improved after surgery. While there was a reduction in structural OCT parameters but it was statistically significant only in GCC (p = 0.039). A positive correlation was found between the preoperative VD of the RPC, Mean Deviation, BCVA and the postoperative Mean Deviation (r = 0.426 p = 0.027; r = 0.624 p = 0.001; r = 0.515 p = 0.006). OCT-A allows to detect the early changes occurring within 48 hours after surgery showing that the improvement in retinal vessel density could occur before the recovery of the structural OCT parameters and can be a positive predictive factor for the functional recovery.
