Clinicopathological features and global genomic copy number alterations of pilomyxoid astrocytoma in the hypothalamus/optic pathway: comparative analysis with pilocytic astrocytoma using array-based comparative genomic hybridization.

9 Jul 2008 Pilomyxoid astrocytoma is a recently identified variant of pilocytic astrocytoma. We studied 11 circumscribed astrocytomas with focal (n=5) or diffuse (n=6) pilomyxoid features and compared them with 17 pilocytic astrocytomas from the ... Read more...

Outcome of patients with retinoblastoma and postlaminar optic nerve invasion.

22 Apr 2007 PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcome of patients with retinoblastoma and postlaminar optic nerve invasion (PLONI). DESIGN: Retrospective interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS: Sixty-one consecutive patients included in 3 successive protocols were ... Read more...

Optic nerve invasion of uveal melanoma.

30 Dec 2006 The aim of the study was to identify the histopathological characteristics associated with the invasion of the optic nerve of uveal melanoma and to evaluate the association between invasion of the optic nerve and survival. In order to achieve this, ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Optic Nerve Neoplasms'

Definition: Benign and malignant neoplasms that arise from the optic nerve or its sheath. OPTIC NERVE GLIOMA is the most common histologic type. Optic nerve neoplasms tend to cause unilateral visual loss and an afferent pupillary defect and may spread via neural pathways to the brain.
