Optic Pathway Gliomas Secondary to Neurofibromatosis Type 1 SEMINARS IN PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGY Beres, S., Avery, R. A. 2017; 24 (2): 92–99

Abstract

Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 frequently manifest optic pathway gliomas-low-grade gliomas intrinsic to the visual pathway. This review describes the molecular and genetic mechanisms driving optic pathway gliomas as well as the clinical symptoms of this relatively common genetic condition. Recommendations for clinical management and descriptions of the newest imaging techniques are discussed.
