Entry term(s) tumores de la vaina del nervio óptico
tumores del nervio óptico
Scope note: Neoplasias benignas y malignas que se originan en el nervio óptico o en sus vainas. El tipo histológico más frecuente es el GLIOMA DEL NERVIO ÓPTICO. Las neoplasias del nervio óptico tienden a causar la pérdida unilateral de la visión y defecto pupilar aferente y pueden diseminarse a través de las vías neurales hacia el cerebro.
