Multiple extra-axial adenocarcinomas mimicking meningiomas: a case report.

30 Jan 2008 We present the case of multiple meningeal tumours in the right sphenoid ridge and left parafalcine region. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed homogenous enhancement. The histopathological examination revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma of both ... Read more...

Complete resection of a cavernous haemangioma of the optic nerve, the chiasm, and the optic tract.

14 May 2007 The involvement of the optic nerve, the chiasma, and the optic tract by a cavernoma has been reported in only three patients. In all of them, a biopsy of the vascular lesion was obtained. We report a further example of a 38-year-old male patient who ... Read more...

[Cavernous angioma of the second cranial nerve and chiasmatic apoplexy]

30 Jan 2007 We present the case of a female patient who developed chiasmatic apoplexy and menstrual alterations. CT scanning showed a suprasellar hemorrhage. She underwent surgery with the presumptive diagnosis of pituitary tumor. At surgery, we find a ... 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.
