| description | Malignant optic gliomas are an uncommon pathology, with around 67 cases reported worldwide in the literature. We present the case of a 77-year-old-male with a two-month history of progressive vision loss, ultimately leading to bilateral blindness. The initial clinical suspicion was a non-inflammatory ischemic optic neuropathy. Stereotactic biopsy was performed on the optic chiasm, and the histopathological diagnosis was confirmed as Glioblastoma. |
