“…122 Acute presentation the most common presenting features of optic nerve glioma are optic disc edema or pallor. [118][119][120]123 the pr oximity of the tumor to the globe influences the pre senting features. if the tumor originates in the anterior portion of the optic nerve, the symptoms start uni laterally, with a swollen optic nerve and subsequent progression to venous occlusion and bilateral involvement.…”

“…in the chronic phase, the optic disc can vary from apparently normal to severely atro phic, and disc swelling due to tumor growth at the optic nerve head is observed in some cases. [118][119][120]123 Cavernous hemangiomas Cavernous hemangiomas are slow growing, vascular tumors that are usually found in the intraconal space. they are the most common benign orbital tumors in adults, being especially prevalent in women, and are usually unilateral.…”

Acquired optic neuropathies are a common cause of blindness in adults, and are associated with characteristic morphological changes at the optic nerve head. Accurate and prompt clinical diagnosis, supplemented with imaging where appropriate, is essential to optimize management of the optic neuropathy and to counsel the patient appropriately on its natural history. History taking, optic disc findings, visual field assessment and imaging of the nerve head and surrounding retinal nerve fiber layer are all paramount to achieving the correct diagnosis. This Review highlights the optic nerve head features that are common to the acquired optic neuropathies, and describes the features that can be used to differentiate these various conditions.
