Sažetak
Objective: To present optic pathway glioma in adulthood and to describe imaging modalities of this disease with pictorial examples of the tumor and its differential diagnoses. Imaging findings: MRI is the imaging modality of choice. CT does not have an important role in making the diagnosis of malignant optic glioma. Conclusion: Optic nerve glioma is a neoplasm that typically occurs in early childhood. However, a late-onset adult malignant form of optic nerve glioma exists and is a rare, highly aggressive visual pathway tumor that presents with bilateral visual loss and has a fatal outcome in virtually all cases. MRI is the imaging modality of choice.
