| Abstract |
Optic nerve glioma in patients with neurofibromatosis is a relatively benign neoplasm. It is slow growing and considered by some to be a hamartoma. Clinical presentation usually includes loss of vision and gradual, painless proptosis. We report a case in which abrupt proptosis of the right eye was shown on magnetic resonance imaging to be due to a hemorrhage into the tumor. |
