optic glioma - tumor of optic nerve
Definition for optic glioma
Gliomas are tumors that grow in various parts of the brain. Optic gliomas can affect:
* One or both of the optic nerves, which carry visual information to the brain from each eye
* The optic chiasm, the area where the optic nerves cross each other in front of the hypothalamus of the brain
An optic glioma may also grow along with a hypothalamic glioma.
