Description Malignant optic nerve glioma is a disease of older adults that often progresses to bilateral blindness and death1. This is in contrast to optic nerve gliomas of childhood, which are typically benign2. It may present under the veil of other diagnoses, including optic neuritis, non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, or retinal vascular occlusion.
