Glioma of the anterior optic pathways.
A 10-month-old girl presented with visual loss in the right eye associated with bilateral optic atrophy. The suggestive clinical diagnosis was an optic nerve glioma. The computerized tomographic findings were unusual in that symmetric bilateral involvement of the anterior visual pathways were present. The radiological diagnosis of an optic glioma was histologically confirmed.
