| Abstract |
We present a patient with unilateral progressive painless loss of vision leading to optic atrophy and blindness. High-resolution computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated adipose tissue extending from the anterior portion of an enlarged optic canal posteriorly to involve the ipsilateral optic chiasm. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an intracanalicular lipoma. |
