Non-optic glioma in adults and children with neurofibromatosis 1

BACKGROUND Non-optic gliomas occur in 5% of children with NF1, but little is known about these tumours in adults. We aimed to investigate progression, spontaneous regression and the natural history of non-optic gliomas in adults and compare these findings to the results found in children. RESULTS One thousand seven hundred twenty-two brain MRI scans of 562 unselected individuals with NF1 were...

Detection of tumor progression in optic pathway glioma with and without neurofibromatosis type 1.

BACKGROUND We wanted to determine the sensitivity and specificity of serial changes in visual acuity and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) to detect radiological progression of tumor volume in children with optic pathway gliomas. METHODS From a retrospective review of a cohort of 69 patients, 54 patients met inclusion criteria (31 with primary chemotherapy, 4 with primary radiotherapy, and 19 w...

Visual outcomes in children with neurofibromatosis type 1-associated optic pathway glioma following chemotherapy: a multicenter retrospective analysis.

Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) occur in 15%-20% of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1); up to half become symptomatic. There is little information regarding ophthalmologic outcomes after chemotherapy. A retrospective multicenter study was undertaken to evaluate visual outcomes following chemotherapy for NF1-associated OPG, to identify risks for visual loss, and to ascertain indications f...

Macrocephaly Is Not a Predictor of Optic Pathway Glioma Development or Treatment in Neurofibromatosis Type 1.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a common neurogenetic disorder characterized by significant clinical variability. As such, numerous studies have focused on identifying clinical, radiographic, or molecular biomarkers that predict the occurrence or progression of specific clinical features in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1. One of these clinical biomarkers, macrocephaly, has been proposed ...
