| Description |
Meningiomas are typically benign tumors often affecting middle-aged women. The orbit is a common location for meningiomas, with many of these involving the optic nerve. These optic nerve sheath meningiomas may have a variety of presentations, including optic atrophy, papilledema, or shunt vessels. Rarely, neurosarcoidosis can mimic an optic nerve sheath meningioma due to their similar appearance on radioimaging. |
