title: [Manifestation of sarcoidosis of the optic nerve].
abstract: Under the suspicion of an optic nerve glioma a resection of the optic nerve tumour was carried out in a 58-year-old female patient with an amaurosis on the right side. The diagnosis of the sarcoidosis of the Nervus opticus was only established on the basis of the histological findings obtained in the resected optic nerve. Even after a period of observation of five years no further general pathologic signs of the sarcoidosis appeared, so that it could be assumed that this was the case of an isolated sarcoid affection of the optic nerve.
