Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a patient recovering vision after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for optic nerve sheath meningioma. METHODS: Radiotherapy was delivered by a three-dimensional conformal technique in 28-180-cGy fractions. RESULTS: Visual acuity improved from 20/200 to 20/30, and the visual field defect resolved. CONCLUSION: Visual loss from optic nerve sheath meningioma can be reversed by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy.
