Four assessments of optic nerve bending were compared between the groups: 1) coronal optic nerve bending height (CONBH), defined as the vertical distance between the highest apex of the bending optic chiasm and the line connecting the endpoints of the optic nerve on the coronal image; 2) coronal optic nerve bending angle (CONBA), defined as the internal angle formed by the intersection of lines parallel to the left and right optic nerves at the greatest bending section of the optic chiasm on the coronal image; 3) sagittal optic nerve bending height (SONBH), defined as the vertical distance between the highest apex of the bending optic chiasm and the extension line of the optic nerve course in the optic canal on the sagittal image; and 4) sagittal optic nerve bending angle (SONBA), defined as the internal angle formed by the intersection of the line connecting the optic canal entrance level and the highest apex of the bending optic chiasm and the extension line of the optic nerve course in the optic canal on the sagittal image.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 45 patients, 21 were assigned to the improved group and 24 to the unaffected group.

Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that only SONBA was a significant independent predictor of perceived visual recovery after resection of sellar lesions (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.03\u20135.10; p = 0.042).
