Optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSM) are rare, frequently unilateral, benign, slowly growing tumors, arising from the meningo-epithelial cells surrounding the optic nerve intraorbital or intercanalicular. Their localization directly impair vision and indirectly impair aesthetics, making a safe classical surgical intervention very difficult and recommending stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy. Women are more affected, the survival rate is good and imaging can sustain differential diagnosis with optic neuroglioma or orbital schwannoma, lymphoma or pseudo tumor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
