    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A rare optic nerve meningioma caused progressive vision loss and proptosis in an obese woman. Surgical removal was necessary after the tumor led to neovascular glaucoma and blindness.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Optic nerve meningiomas are rare tumors that can cause vision loss.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving vision.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with 10 months of progressive vision loss and proptosis in the right eye.
    • Fundus examination revealed retinal vascular congestion, hemorrhages, and a serous retinal detachment.
    • B-scan ultrasonography initially suggested a thickened, convoluted retina.

    Findings:

    • High-resolution CT scans showed generalized optic nerve thickening.
    • Enucleation revealed diffuse optic nerve thickening consistent with meningioma.
    • Meningioma was confirmed along the entire orbital portion of the optic nerve.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering optic nerve meningioma in cases of unexplained vision loss and proptosis.
    • Aggressive management, including surgical resection, may be required for optic nerve meningiomas.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches involving ophthalmology, neurology, and neurosurgery are essential for optimal patient outcomes.
