Abstract:
We review the involvement of the optic nerve in distinct neoplastic disorders and differentiate the metastases from the paraneoplastic disorders. We also review and discuss the role of malignant lymphoreticular disorders, solid tumors and meningeal carcinomatosis in relation to the changes in the optic nerve caused by these conditions.
