Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective preoperative MRI is at predicting the histopathologic margin of optic nerve gliomas during surgical removal.
- Researchers analyzed data from 13 patients with diagnosed optic nerve gliomas, comparing MRI findings with what was found during and after surgery.
- Results showed that while MRI identified the tumors correctly, in some cases, the tumors extended beyond what the MRI indicated, affecting surgical planning and outcomes.
