| Description |
Children with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) frequently develop optic pathway gliomas (OPGs), low grade tumors of the anterior visual pathway (AVP) which include the optic nerve, chiasm and tract. The diagnosis of an OPG is frequently based upon enlargement of these structures, yet a quantitative MRI criterion of enlargement does not exist. We introduce quantitative size thresholds for enlargement of the AVP. |
