Optic Nerve Glioma Test Package at Affordable Price

Optic nerve glioma, also known as optic pathway glioma, is a rare type of brain tumor that originates in the cells of the optic nerve or the optic pathway, which is the pathway that transmits visual information from the eyes to the brain. Optic nerve gliomas are most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, although they can also occur in adults.

Optic nerve gliomas are typically slow-growing tumors that may or may not cause symptoms. When they do cause symptoms, they can present with various visual disturbances, which may include:

• Vision loss or blurred vision in one or both eyes
• Proptosis (bulging of the eye)
• Nystagmus (involuntary eye movement)
• Strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes)
• Pale or swollen optic disc (the part of the optic nerve that can be visualized at the back of the eye) on eye examination

Our Optic Nerve Glioma Test Package Includes:

Diagnosis of optic nerve glioma usually involves a thorough eye examination, including dilated fundus examination to visualize the optic disc, as well as imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan to determine the location, size, and extent of the tumor. Biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific type of glioma.
