  • Title: Orbital optic nerve glioma in adult life.
    Author: Wulc AE, Bergin DJ, Barnes D, Scaravilli F, Wright JE, McDonald WI.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1989 Jul; 107(7):1013-6. PubMed ID: 2751454.
    Abstract:
    In seven cases, optic nerve glioma presented as an expanding orbital mass in previously asymptomatic adults. Clinically and histologically, these tumors were similar to the orbital optic nerve gliomas of childhood; in contrast to the rapidly progressive malignant gliomas of the chiasm well described in adults, the patients with these tumors had a more benign clinical course. Management of optic nerve glioma in adulthood should be conservative in the presence of useful vision.
