MeSH Heading: Optic Nerve Neoplasms
Tree Number(s): C04.588.614.300.600; C04.588.614.596.240.240; C10.292.225.800; C10.292.700.500; C10.551.360.500; C10.551.775.250.500; C11.640.544
Unique ID: D019574
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019574
Annotation: coordinate IM with histologic type of neoplasm (IM)
Scope Note: Benign and malignant neoplasms that arise from the optic nerve or its sheath. OPTIC NERVE GLIOMA is the most common histologic type. Optic nerve neoplasms tend to cause unilateral visual loss and an afferent pupillary defect and may spread via neural pathways to the brain.
