Optic nerve sheath meningocele is an enlargement of the sheath itself, consisting of a collection of cerebrospinal fluid along the perineural space. It should be considered primary if it is not associated with orbital-cerebral neoplasm or with cranio-orbital junction malformations. We report three cases of bilateral primary idiopathic optic nerve sheath meningocele, two of them with gradual vision loss.

Surgery stands as the primary treatment for spheno-orbital meningiomas, following a symptoms-oriented approach. We discussed the decision-making process behind surgical strategies through a review of medical records from 80 patients who underwent surgical resection at the University of Naples Federico II. Different surgical approaches were employed based on the tumor's location relative to the optic nerve's long axis, categorized into lateral (type I), medial (type II), and diffuse (type III).

Article Synopsis
  • Optic nerve sheath meningocele is a condition where the sheath around the optic nerve enlarges due to a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid, often classified as primary when not linked to other conditions.
  • The case report discusses a patient with bilateral primary idiopathic optic nerve sheath meningocele who experienced gradual vision loss but showed improvement after treatment with acetazolamide.
  • A review of similar cases indicates that while severe vision loss may require surgical intervention, acetazolamide is effective for managing symptoms in less severe cases, as demonstrated in this patient's follow-up.
