  • Title: Emergence of optic pathway gliomas in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 after normal neuroimaging results.
    Author: Listernick R, Charrow J, Greenwald M.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 1992 Oct; 121(4):584-7. PubMed ID: 1403395.
    Abstract:
    We report the appearance of gliomas of the optic nerve or chiasm in four young children with neurofibromatosis type 1 whose previous neuroimaging studies showed no abnormalities; the age range of the children was 1 year 8 months to 5 years 9 months at the time the tumors were detected. Normal neuroimaging findings in an infant or young child with neurofibromatosis type 1 does not provide assurance that the optic nerves and chiasm will remain healthy.
