Abstract
✓ In a series of 20 cases of glioma of the optic nerve, approximately 25% were successfully treated surgically. This series also confirms the observations of Taveras, et al., (1956) that 25% of patients thus treated obtain considerable additional improvement in vision after radiation therapy, and that another 10% derive minimal benefit.Keywords
