³M.D. Professor., Rize University Training and Research Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology Rize/TURKEY We report an optic nerve sheath meningioma case in a 57-year-old woman admitted to our clinic with unilateral vision loss. Best corrected visual acuity (VA) was 1/10 on the Snellen chart at admittance. The only fundoscopic finding was macular choroidal folds. The orbital MRI scan revealed optic nerve sheath meningioma. The patient was referred to the neurosurgery department and received radiotherapy. Six months after treatment VA was 2/10 in the right eye and the choroidal folds persisted on fundoscopy. Moreover, based on this case we report the clinical course and treatment options for optic nerve sheath meningioma. Keywords : Optic nerve sheath meningioma, choroidal folds
