Predictive Factors of Favorable Visual Outcomes After Surgery of Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Because of their proximity to the visual structures, tuberculum sellae meningiomas are frequently revealed by ophthalmologic impairment. The goal of surgery is gross total resection and improvement of visual function. The purpose of the present study was to identify the predictors of favorable visual outcomes after surgery of tuberculum sellae meningioma. METHODS: We retrospectively collected tuberculum sellae meningiomas treated at 2 neurosurgical centers from 2010 to 2020. We collected the clinical, imaging and surgical data and analyzed their effects on the visual outcome. A favorable visual outcome was defined as an increase in visual acuity of >= 0.2 point and/or an increase of >25% of the visual field or complete recovery. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients were included. At 4 months after surgery, 30 patients (60%) had experienced visual improvement. The predictors of a favorable visual outcome were a symptom duration of <6 months, preoperative visual acuity >0.5, a smaller tumor size, and tumor with T2-weighted/fluid attenuated inversion recovery hypersignal on magnetic resonance imaging. During surgery, a soft tumor and a clear brain-tumor interface were associated with favorable visual outcomes. Preoperative optic coherence tomography measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness >80 mu M and ganglion cell complex thickness >70 mu M were also associated with a better ophthalmologic outcome. CONCLUSIONS: In tuberculum sellae meningiomas, rapid surgical treatment must be performed to optimize vision improvement. A hyperintense lesion on T2-weighted/fluid attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging and minor vision impairment at the initial ophthalmologic presentation might give hope for a favorable outcome. Performing optic coherence tomography measurements before surgery could clarify patients' expectations regarding their recovery.
