Perioptic cyst distal to optic nerve meningioma: MR demonstration.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dilation of the subarachnoid space between the distal edge of an optic nerve sheath meningioma and the eyeball has previously been observed during surgery and considered a rare finding. We observed such perioptic cysts in seven patients with optic nerve meningioma and describe the MR features of this finding.

They were first seen by the ophthalmologist with complaints of unilateral progressive visual loss or proptosis. Although blindness of the affected eye mainly occurred between 1 month...

متن کاملNecrotizing neurosarcoidosis masquerading as a left optic nerve meningioma: case report.
Isolated neurosarcoidosis involving the optic nerve meninges is extremely rare and is often indistinguishable from a meningioma in its anatomic site and MR imaging presentation. Characteristic findings include enhanced perineural encasement and thickening of the affected optic nerve on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted cranial MR imaging studies. We present the case report of a patient with isolate...
متن کاملOptic Nerve Sheath Meningioma in the First Decade of Life: Case Report and Review of the Literature
BACKGROUND/AIM Tumors of the optic nerve are mostly either optic nerve gliomas or optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs). While gliomas occur in children, most meningiomas are slow-growing tumors affecting middle-aged individuals with progressive visual loss, proptosis, disc edema and optociliary veins on fundus examination. ONSMs are extremely rare in children, with only 14 cases reported in c...
متن کاملIntracanalicular optic nerve meningioma: a serious diagnostic pitfall.
We describe six cases of cannalicular optic nerve meningioma in which the diagnosis was missed for more than 1 year after the onset of symptoms. Clinical features led to a misdiagnosis of optic neuritis in all cases. Although atypical clinical progression led to further imaging studies, they did not provide the diagnosis because of inappropriate imaging protocols. Diagnosis was eventually made ...
