Abstract
Purpose:
To report a patient recovering vision after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for optic nerve sheath meningioma.
Methods:
Radiotherapy was delivered by a three-dimensional conformal technique in 28-180-cGy fractions.
Results:
Visual acuity improved from 20/200 to 20/30, and the visual field defect resolved.
Conclusion:
Visual loss from optic nerve sheath meningioma can be reversed by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy.
