| Description |
Bilateral optic nerve gliomas are suggestive of NF1 and typically are low grade (WHO Grade I) pilocytic astrocytoma (PA). Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is a newly characterized, aggressive glioma (WHO grade II) with a propensity for the hypothalamic-chiasmal axis. It occurs in a younger age group and has a higher recurrence and lower survival rate. There are few reports associating PMA with NF1. |
