OCT及OCTA观察垂体腺瘤患者黄斑区视网膜结构和微循环的改变

目的：应用光学相干断层扫描(OCT)及光学相干断层扫描血管成像(OCTA)观察垂体腺瘤(PA)患者黄斑区视网膜结构和微循环的改变。

方法：横断面研究。纳入2021-09/2023-03在广东医科大学附属医院神经外科治疗的PA患者40例作为PA组，另选取年龄、性别相匹配的健康志愿者42例作为正常对照组，均进行视野、OCT和OCTA检查，并分析PA患者眼部参数的相关性。

结果：PA组患者黄斑区视网膜各层血管密度(VD)均低于正常对照组，且黄斑区浅层血管复合体(SVC)-VD与神经节细胞复合体(mGCC)厚度(除内环鼻侧、外环下方)均呈正相关(P<0.05)，黄斑区各象限mGCC厚度、视盘周围各象限视网膜神经纤维层(CP-RNFL)厚度与视野平均缺损(MD)值均呈负相关(P<0.05)，中心凹无血管区(FAZ)面积与MD值呈正相关(P<0.05)。

结论：OCT与OCTA检查相结合可以全面了解PA患者视网膜结构和微循环功能的微观变化，对评估PA患者术前视功能具有重要价值。

Changes of macular retinal structure and microcirculation in patients with pituitary adenoma observed by optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography

AIM: To observe the changes of macular retinal structure and microcirculation in patients with pituitary adenoma(PA)by optical coherence tomography(OCT)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA).

METHODS: Cross-sectional study. A total of 40 PA patients treated at the department of neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were included as PA group, and 42 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were selected as normal control group. All patients underwent visual field, OCT and OCTA examinations, and the correlation of ocular parameters in PA patients was analyzed.

RESULTS:The vessel density(VD)of each retinal layer in the macular area of the PA group was lower than that of the normal control group, and the superficial vascular complex(SVC)-VD in the macular area was positively correlated with the thickness of the macular ganglion cell complex(mGCC)(except the nasal side of the inner ring and the lower part of the outer ring; P<0.05). The thickness of mGCC in each quadrant of the macular area and the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(CP-RNFL)in each quadrant were negatively correlated with the mean defect(MD)value of the visual field(P<0.05), and the area of the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)was positively correlated with the MD value(P<0.05).

CONCLUSION:The combination of OCT and OCTA can fully understand the microscopic changes of retinal structure and microcirculation function in PA patients, which is of great value in evaluating the preoperative visual function of PA patients.
