OPTOCILIARY VEINS, DISC PALLOR AND VISUAL LOSS

Abstract

Four middle‐aged women presented with unilateral long‐standing blindness. All four had a poorly demarcated and atrophic optic disc, and prominent optociliary veins. All had meningioma of the cranio‐orbital junction. It is postulated that the optociliary veins, in this setting, indicate indolent tumor growing in the distal perioptic meninges.
