Optic gliomas are the most common tumors in the optic pathways during childhood. Among them, about 10 % are located within intra-orbital cavity. However, the optimal management for intra-orbital optic nerve gliomas remains controversial. An 11-year-old male complained about progressive decline of vision in his right eye. Brain MRI revealed a fusiform enlargement of right optic nerve within intra-orbital cavity.
A presumptive diagnosis of optic nerve glioma was made. Therefore, we performed fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) using Novalis.
Five years after FSRT treatment, follow-up MRI revealed size reduction of tumor and visual acuity improvement without radiation-related complications.
视神经胶质瘤是儿童期视神经通路中最常见的肿瘤。其中,约10%位于眶内。然而,眶内视神经胶质瘤的最佳治疗方法仍存在争议。一名11岁男性主诉右眼视力逐渐下降。脑部磁共振成像(MRI)显示眶内右侧视神经呈梭形增粗。
做出了视神经胶质瘤的初步诊断。因此,我们使用诺力刀(Novalis)进行了分次立体定向放射治疗(FSRT)。
FSRT治疗五年后,随访MRI显示肿瘤缩小,视力改善,且无放疗相关并发症。
