Abstract

Data for visual acuity (VA) after treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1-associated optic pathway gliomas (NF1-OPGs) are limited. We retrospectively collected VA, converted to logMAR, before and after targeted therapy with everolimus for NF1-OPG, and compared to radiologic outcomes (14/18 with NF1-OPG, 25 eyes [three without quantifiable vision]). Upon completion of treatment, VA was stable in 19 eyes, improved in four eyes, and worsened in two eyes; visual and radiologic outcomes were discordant. In summary, the majority of children with NF1-OPG exhibited stabilization of their VA after everolimus treatment. A larger, prospective study will help delineate visual outcomes after targeted therapy.
