Therefore, decompression of the optic chiasm is a major goal of surgical treatment in such patients. Quantitative pupillometry has been used in various clinical settings for assessing the optic system but has not been applied in patients with pituitary tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of this technique to improve treatment modalities in patients undergoing surgical resection of pituitary tumors.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pupillometry using the automated NPi 200\u00ae Pupillometer was performed in seven patients who underwent surgical resection of large pituitary tumors at the University of Heidelberg in 2018. The neurological pupil index (NPi) was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively, and correlations with visual acuity and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings regarding optic chiasm compression were determined.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All patients experienced visual disturbance due to a large pituitary tumor. The NPi was\u2009&lt;\u20094.0 in all patients in at least one pupil. Intraoperative MRI demonstrated successful decompression of the optic chiasm in all cases. Postoperatively, the NPi values increased, and this increase was correlated with improved visual acuity.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We found that quantitative pupillometry can detect optic chiasm compression in patients with pituitary tumors. Furthermore, postoperative improvement of NPi values may indicate sufficient decompression of the optic chiasm.
