Zusammenfassung:Optic pathway gliomas are the most common central nervous system neoplasms in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1. Perineural arachnoidal gliomatosis is a rare and distinctive growth pattern of optic nerve glioma, in which the tumor infiltrates through the pia mater and pre-dominantly involves the subarachnoid space around the optic nerve. Here, we report an 8-year-old girl with perineural arachnoidal gliomatosis associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.
