AGUIRRE-BALSALOBRE, F.E.; COLOMA-GONZALEZ, I.T. e MENGUAL-VERDU, E.N.. Optic nerve glioma in a case of neurofibromatosis-1 in a child. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.1, pp.33-36. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinical case: The case of a three-year-old patient with neurofibromatosis type I is presented. Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed, by means of magnetic resonance imaging, the presence of a silent glioma in the optic nerve of the left eye. Discussion: Neurofibromatosis-1 can present in multiple ways to the ophthalmologist, with a glioma of the optic nerve being one of the most frequent central nervous system presentations in this illness. Generally the glioma affects the optic chiasm and its course is indolent, with conservative management and close monitoring usually being advised until progression is defined.
