| Description |
Optic nerve glioma (ONG) is the most common optic nerve tumor of childhood presenting with gradual proptosis, strabismus and visual loss. Rarely, such patients may develop acute loss of vision with worsening proptosis which has been associated with new hemorrhage or mucoid substance into the tumor. We postulate that plication of the optic nerve may be an etiology for rapidly progressive vision loss in this population. |
