Abstract
Conclusion: Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy was safe and well tolerated in all patients. The good tumor control and the potential of sparing normal brain tissue, especially the pituitary gland in lesions involving the optic chiasm, permit effective treatment of patients with optic nerve gliomas. Longer follow-up is needed to assess the incidence of late effects fully.
