What is Optic glioma?

Gliomas are tumors that grow in various parts of the brain. Optic gliomas can affect:

The optic chiasm, the area where the optic nerves cross each other in front of the hypothalamus of the brain

An optic glioma may also grow along with a hypothalamic glioma.

Glioma - optic; Optic nerve glioma
