The early detection and monitoring of optic nerve involvement are essential for preserving visual function. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) are noninvasive, high-resolution imaging modalities that provide quantitative assessment of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, ganglion cell complex (GCC), and retinal microvasculature. Thinning of the RNFL and GCC correlates with visual field defects and reduced visual acuity and may also serve as a predictor of postoperative visual recovery. OCTA reveals microvascular alterations that may precede structural damage and, together with other imaging parameters, can be used to estimate the likelihood of visual improvement after neurosurgery. This review summarizes current evidence on the use of OCT and OCTA in CP, highlighting their applications in assessment of optic pathway involvement, preoperative evaluation, postoperative monitoring, and risk stratification. Based on our clinical experience, we propose a table with recommended OCT parameters and follow-up intervals. Importantly, OCT should be interpreted alongside the visual acuity, visual field testing, and fundus examination for comprehensive assessment. Future directions include the standardization of imaging protocols and prospective multicenter studies, and integration of OCTA metrics into predictive models of visual outcomes. OCT and OCTA provide objective, reproducible biomarkers that support individualized patient care and may improve visual prognosis in CP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers18061030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,23]],"date-time":"2026-03-23T08:47:42Z","timestamp":1774255662000},"page":"1030","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical Value of Optical Coherence Tomography in Craniopharyngioma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0253-5119","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Klaudia","family":"Rakusiewicz-Krasnod\u0119bska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2235-4259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Bogusz-W\u00f3jcik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology, Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Chmielarz-Czarnoci\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-848 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"El\u017cbieta","family":"Moszczy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology, Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wojciech","family":"Hautz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e32112","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2024.e32112","article-title":"Craniopharyngioma: A comprehensive review of the clinical presentation, radiological findings, management, and future Perspective","volume":"10","author":"Alboqami","year":"2024","journal-title":"Heliyon"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"793","DOI":"10.1080\/14737175.2018.1528874","article-title":"Childhood-onset craniopharyngioma: Latest insights into pathology, diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up","volume":"18","author":"Bogusz","year":"2018","journal-title":"Expert Rev.
