Malignant optic gliomas are an uncommon pathology, with around 67 cases reported worldwide in the literature.

description Malignant optic gliomas are an uncommon pathology, with around 67 cases reported worldwide in the literature. We present the case of a 77-year-old-male with a two-month history of progressive vision loss, ultimately leading to bilateral blindness. The initial clinical suspicion was a non-inflammatory ischemic optic neuropathy. Stereotactic biopsy was performed on the optic chiasm, and the histopathological diagnosis was confirmed as Glioblastoma.
