A series of 10 patients with optic nerve glioma involving the chiasm is presented, all treated by radiotherapy. In a follow-up period varying from six months to 17 years, none has died of the tumour and four have shown improvement of vision. In an attempt to determine whether or not treatment with radiotherapy is beneficial the results of six other ...

The optic nerve is a fiber tract of the brain, and is not a true cranial nerve. Primary pathologic processes seen in the central nervous system and its linings can therefore affect the optic nerve. Along their course the fibers of the visual pathways are also susceptible to secondary extrinsic processes.

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1978
A specific type of optic disc damage and visual field loss has been emphasized. The changes occur acutely at the inferotemporal disc margin and do not seem to progress. Such patients have normal intraocular pressures. We have termed this entity "acute inferotemporal prelaminar optic disc infarction syndrome" in an effort to avoid using the word ...

We report a 55-year-old woman with optic nerve Aspergillosis. Aspergillus is an ubiquitous airborne saprophytic fungus. Inhaled Aspergillus conidia are normally eliminated in the immunocompetent host by innate immune mechanisms; however, in immunosuppressed patients, they can cause disease.

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1996
Recent articles in the scientific literature have described major advances in our understanding of the anatomy and vascular relationships of the optic nerve (cranial nerve II) and of the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of disorders affecting this nerve, including congenital anomalies of the optic disc, dominant hereditary optic neuropathy ...

AbstractCysticercosis of the optic nerve is an extremely rare entity and only seven cases have been reported in the world literature. A case of optic nerve cysticercosis in a 25‐year‐old woman is reported, along with a review of literature. The patient presented with two episodes of pain, diminution of vision and proptosis.

Annals of Diagnostic Pathology, 2005
Choristomas are rare lesions that typically involve peripheral nerves and are marked by the presence of histologically normal tissue for an organ or body part other than the site at which it is located. Reports of choristoma involving cranial nerves are extraordinarily rare.

Optic nerve diseases arise from many different etiologies including inflammatory, neoplastic, genetic, infectious, ischemic, and idiopathic. Understanding some of the characteristics of the most common optic neuropathies along with therapeutic approaches to these diseases is helpful in designing recommendations for individual patients.

Optic Nerve: The Glaucomatous Optic Nerve
2009Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy. Although there are several pathophysiologies that must be managed in the clinical care of the glaucoma patient, what defines all forms of glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that demonstrates classic and recognizably variable [1–6] structural and functional behaviors.

Premorbid ophthalmoscopic and histopathologic findings were correlated in a case of bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia in a 9-month-old infant with bilateral hydranencephaly. The double-ring sign was due to an extension of retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) over the outer portion of the lamina cribrosa.
