title: [Results of surgical treatment of gliomas of the optic nerve].
abstract: The work discusses the catamnestic data on 55 children aged from 10 months to 17 years who underwent operation for glioma of the optic nerve by the one-stage cranio-orbital method. A recurrent tumor was found in 6 patients in postoperative periods of 1 to 5 years. Its source was a nonremoved intracanalicular part of the optic nerve involved in the tumor. Chronic trophic uveitis was encountered in some patients after the operation, which led to subatrophy of the eyeball. Exacerbation of uveitis simulated growth of the tumor into the optic disk in some cases, due to which enucleation of the eyeball was performed.
