| Description |
The most common lesion that infiltrates the optic nerve is the optic glioma (1,333,334), although the most common tumors to affect the pediatric orbit are vascular tumors (335) (Fig. 8.11) (see Chapter 28). Optic pathway gliomas represent 1% of all intracranial tumors, 1.5-3.5% of all orbital tumors, and 65% of all intrinsic optic nerve tumors (336,337). |
