Portable MRI to assess optic chiasm decompression after endoscopic endonasal resection of sellar and suprasellar lesions

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that resolution of pMRI is comparable to that of conventional MRI in assessing the optic chiasm position in relation to the third ventricle. Portable MRI sufficiently demonstrates decompression of the optic chiasm after endoscopic endonasal surgery. It can be an alternative strategy in cases in which cost, scan-time considerations, or lack of intraoperative MRI availability may preclude the ability to assess adequate optic nerve decompression after endoscopic endonasal surgery for sellar and suprasellar lesions.PMID:37347618 | DOI:10.3171/2023.5.JNS23174
