==Overview==
'''Optic nerve glioma''' (or '''optic glioma'''), a form of [[glioma]] which affects the [[optic nerve]], is often one of the [[Neurofibromatosis_1#Central_nervous_system_manifestations|central nervous system manifestations of Neurofibromatosis 1]].


Gliomas are tumors that grow in various parts of the brain. Optic gliomas can affect:
{{SK}} Optic nerve gliomas; Optic pathway glioma; Glioma of the optic nerve; Juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma; Malignant optic nerve astrocytoma; Childhood optic nerve glioma;  OPGs
==[[Optic nerve glioma overview|Overview]]==


*One or both of the optic nerves, which carry visual information to the brain from each eye
==[[Optic nerve glioma historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


*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.
