“…There are also reports of optic nerve gliomas associated with intracranial calcification along the anterior visual pathway. 32 Chiasmal gliomas are associated with enlargement of the chiasm and are usually isointense to brain on T1-weighted MRI. They frequently have a variable contrast enhancement pattern and sometimes have suprasellar extension (with or without associated calcification) (Fig.…”

✓Optic pathway gliomas represent approximately 3–5% of childhood intracranial tumors. They usually occur in children during the first decade of life and are seen in 11–30% of patients with neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Although these tumors are typically low-grade gliomas, the clinical course and natural history are highly variable, making treatment paradigms difficult. Overall, however, they are often indolent tumors that can be observed over time for progression without initial treatment, especially in patients with NF1. Chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for progressive tumors, and radiation therapy is reserved for patients with progressive disease who are older than 5–7 years. Surgery is reserved for large tumors causing mass effect or hydrocephalus and tumors confined to the orbit or unilateral optic nerve.

“…is tumor may also expand into the third ventricle and occludes the foramina of Munro that leads to the development of hydrocephalus with its feature. [8][9][10] but can cause additional symptoms when it is large. Local involvement within the orbit can be characterized using CT, but MRI is superior in showing the intracranial extent of the lesion.…”

Optic chiasmatic hypothalamic gliomas are among common primary neoplasm of the optic nerve. It presents with decreased vision as well as features of hypopituitarism due to infiltration of the hypothalamus. In this case report, a young man presented with loss of libido, increased thirst, gradual loss of vision, bilateral optic atrophy and visual field defect. The MRI of sellar and paraseller region showed optic chiasmaticglioma with hypothalamic extension and biochemical parameter showed panhypopituitarism. We diagnosed this patient as a case of Optic chiasmatic hypothalamic gliomas (OCHGS) with panhypopituitarism with partial cranial diabetes insipidus with bilateral primary optic atrophy.The patient underwent surgery after adequate hormonal treatment but died due to post-operative complications Bangladesh Med J. 2020 Sept; 49(3) : 49-52
