  • Title: High-resolution CT of lesions of the optic nerve.
    Author: Peyster RG, Hoover ED, Hershey BL, Haskin ME.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1983 May; 140(5):869-74. PubMed ID: 6601426.
    Abstract:
    The optic nerves are well demonstrated by high-resolution computed tomography. Involvement of the optic nerve by optic gliomas and optic nerve sheath meningiomas is well known. However, nonneoplastic processes such as increased intracranial pressure, optic neuritis, Grave ophthalmopathy, and orbital pseudotumor may also alter the appearance of the optic nerve/sheath on computed tomography. Certain clinical and computed tomographic features permit distinction of these nonneoplastic tumefactions from tumors.
