With an MRI, the ophthalmologist will be able to see the size of the optic nerve and view the optic chiasm. The optic chiasm is the place within the brain where some of the nerves from each eye cross.

Chemotherapy for optic nerve glioma has a high success rate, with over 70% of people seeing no tumor growth after treatment. However, doctors are unable to recommend chemotherapy to children with NF1.

In one study, sensitivity increased from 85% to 95%. Under the revised criteria, optic nerve lesions may be documented using MRI, optical coherence tomography (OCT), or visual evoked potentials (VEP).

Specifically, a linear regression fit estimated the relationship between optic chiasm width (OCW) in millimeters in normal fetuses and gestational age (GA) in weeks as OCW = 0.11 × GA+2.0 (R^2 ...

For the current study, an international team of researchers aimed to evaluate the ability of ON-MRI, OCT, and VEP to detect optic nerve involvement among patients with CIS of MS, and to evaluate ...

DUBLIN-- (BUSINESS WIRE)--Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced the presentation of new MRI imaging data from the Phase 3 clinical trial showing UPLIZNA reduced the formation of ...

A 77-year-old man was referred to the neuro-ophthalmology clinic at Tufts/New England Eye Center for bilateral optic nerve swelling.Six months prior, the patient had reportedly sought evaluation ...

In neuromyelitis optica (NMO), the immune system attacks the optic nerves, spinal cord, and sometimes the brain. Learn about symptoms and their causes.

3D SVR MRI: A Powerful Tool for Declassifying Fetal Optic Nerve Then, 3D SVR reconstructions of fetal brain images were performed using a minimum of six T2 SSFSE imaging sequences.

Furthermore, among the 55 3D SVR cases, pre-chiasmatic optic nerve width was successfully measured bilaterally in 53 cases, optic chiasm width in all 56 cases, and bilateral optic tract width in ...
