title: [A case of glioma of the optic nerve with a 12-year follow-up observation].
abstract: Clinical course of the case of a now 20 patient, with glioma of the optic nerve, removed 12 years ago, is presented. The tumour was removed with a intraorbital part of the optic nerve, but the eyeball was saved, what enabled the normal, symmetrical development of the child's face. Painful atrophy of the eyeball occurred 10 years after surgery and it seems that there will be a necessity to remove the eye.
