Visual outcomes after chemotherapy for optic pathway glioma in children with and without neurofibromatosis type 1: results of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) Low-Grade Glioma 2004 trial UK cohort.

CONCLUSIONS: Children with and without NF1 demonstrated the same rate of VA improvement, stabilisation or worsening; however, children with sporadic OPG had a poorer VA outcome. Better initial VA, older age, absence of postchiasm tumour and presence of NF1 were associated with improved or stable VA outcomes. PMID: 29343527 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
