Pediatric Optic Pathway Gliomas: Diagnosis, Management, and Outcomes

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) are the most common brain tumor that pediatric ophthalmologists and neuro-ophthalmologists care for. These low-grade gliomas are found along the anterior portion of the visual pathway and demonstrate unique features in their growth, impact on visual function and response to treatment. The standardized approach to the ophthalmologic evaluation and testing positions the ophthalmologist to play a vital role in the care of these unique tumors. This review will cover the epidemiology, clinical evaluation, treatment and outcomes of OPGs.
