title: [Bilateral meningioma of the optic nerve. Discussion apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report a case of a 14 years old girl with a bilateral optic neuropathy especially an optic atrophy on the left eye. They show the clinical and radiological diagnostic difficulty of these symptoms before coming to the bilateral optic nerve meningioma. The authors have compared this rare case to those described in literature and insist on the importance of the CT Scan and eventually the nerve surgical exploration.
