    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Optic nerve sheath meningiomas are rare tumors that can cause gradual vision loss.
    • Diagnostic challenges exist for optic nerve sheath meningiomas, often requiring invasive procedures.

    Observation:

    • A 58-year-old woman presented with a two-year history of progressive visual failure in her left eye.
    • Initial radiological investigations, including tomography and CT scans, were inconclusive.

    Findings:

    • Surgical exploration revealed an optic nerve sheath meningioma as the cause of vision loss.
    • Complete visual recovery was achieved after the tumor was surgically removed.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering optic nerve sheath meningioma in cases of unexplained progressive vision loss.
  • Early surgical intervention can lead to favorable outcomes and vision restoration.
