视神经胶质细胞瘤误诊为颅咽管瘤一例

Ptic Nerve Glioma Misdiagnosed as Craniopharyngioma: A Case Report

摘要: 视神经胶质细胞瘤(optic nerve glioma)为一种起源于视神经胶质细胞的肿瘤。该病于临床中较为少见，多为低级别的胶质细胞瘤。典型的视神经胶质细胞瘤影像学诊断较容易，而不典型的视神经胶质细胞瘤则常与其他病变类似而易误诊，本文报告一例视神经胶质细胞瘤误诊为颅咽管瘤的病例。

Abstract: Optic nerve glioma (ONG) is a kind of tumor originated from optic nerve glial cells. The disease is rare in clinical practice, and most of them are low-grade gliomas. The imaging diagnosis of typical optic nerve glioma is easy, while the atypical optic nerve glioma is often similar to other lesions and is easy to be misdiagnosed. This paper reports a case of optic nerve glioma misdiagnosed as craniopharyngioma.
