RISK FACTORS FOR IRREVERSIBLE VISION LOSS IN TUMORS OF THE SELLAR REGION by Kateryna S. Iegorova, Mykola O. Guk, Maria A. Znamenska, Valeriia V. Musulevska

“…The analysis showed that the following factors: age, gender, histological type of tumor, the presence of strongly asymmetric chiasmal syndrome had no prognostic negative influence on the outcome of compressive optic neuropathy (p>0.05). It was found that the duration of symptoms, the level of preoperative visual acuity and visual field, changes in the morphostructural parameters of the optic nerve and retina, and the size of the tumors have a significant negative prognostic value for the ophthalmological outcome (p<0.05). …”
