Abstract:
An eight-year-old girl presented with vision loss and optic atrophy. Neuro-imaging revealed a sellar mass, which when biopsied proved to be a chiasmatic/hypothalamic glioma. The differential diagnosis of a sellar mass in childhood is discussed, and the presentation and management of chiasmatic/hypothalamic gliomas is reviewed.
