  • Title: Hematoma of optic nerve glioma--a cause for sudden proptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging findings.
    Author: Applegate LJ, Pribram HF.
    Journal: J Clin Neuroophthalmol; 1989 Mar; 9(1):15-9. PubMed ID: 2522939.
    Abstract:
    Optic nerve glioma in patients with neurofibromatosis is a relatively benign neoplasm. It is slow growing and considered by some to be a hamartoma. Clinical presentation usually includes loss of vision and gradual, painless proptosis. We report a case in which abrupt proptosis of the right eye was shown on magnetic resonance imaging to be due to a hemorrhage into the tumor.
