  • Title: [Meningioma of the optic nerve sheath. Diagnostic problems despite use of modern imaging procedures].
    Author: Klemm M, Guthoff R, Zanella F.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1992 Jan; 200(1):39-42. PubMed ID: 1583840.
    Abstract:
    In spite of modern optical examination techniques such as sonography, nuclear magnetic resonance tomography (NMR) and x-ray computer tomography up to now the meningioma of the optic nerve sheath still poses a problem in respect of differential diagnosis. This problem is illustrated by two case reports. In both patients a meningioma of the optic nerve sheath could be diagnosed only after various attempts using all the imaging techniques mentioned above. NMR in combination with Gadolinium injection gave most important information.
