Abstract:
Optic nerve gliomas (ONGs) are one type of optic pathway gliomas (OPGs), enjoying low incidence; they accounts for only 1% of intracranial tumors in children. They can either occur sporadically or complicate with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). ONGs have unique clinical features, and the courses of diseases are variable and difficult to predict. Accurate diagnosis and reasonable treatment are controversial. This review focuses on the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of ONGs, in order to provide references for the treatment and follow-up research of ONGs.
