Title: Bilateral massive gliosis of the retina involving the optic nerves. Report of a case. Author: Barishak RY, Stein R. Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1975 Mar; 53(2):153-9. PubMed ID: 1173996. Abstract: A 40-year old woman, blind in her right eye since childhood and in the left since the age of 15, presented a gliomatous tumoral mass filling up the eyes completely. Sections of the optic nerve of one eye showed the same cellular aspect noted in both intraocular tumors. The optic foramina had a normal size and there were no signs of Recklinghausen's disease. The diagnosis was bilateral reactive gliosis but the presence of a congenital anomaly has to be postulated in order to explain the involvement of the optic nerve in the process of intraocular gliosis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
