  • Title: Bilateral optic nerve sheath meningiomas.
    Author: Hart WM, Burde RM, Klingele TG, Perlmutter JC.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1980 Jan; 98(1):149-51. PubMed ID: 7352862.
    Abstract:
    A 35-year-old man was initially seen following the incidental discovery of swollen optic disc in both eyes. Over a subsequent 15-year period, the patient experienced an inexorable loss of vision in both eyes, characterized by normal neuroradiologic findings and the presence of opticocillary shunt vessels on both discs. A craniotomy ultimately demonstrated the presence of bilateral optic nerve sheath meningiomas that appeared to have arisen multifocally.
