Abstract：Objective To explore the therapeutic strategies and prognosis of different populations with optic pathway glioma. Methods Clinical data of 11 patients with optic pathway glioma were analyzed retrospectively, including 5 in adult group and 6 in child group. The surgery via subfrontal or frontobasal interhemispheric pathway was performed on 10 patients and observation on 1. The patients were followed up and the prognosis was evaluated. Results In the patients who received surgery, total resection was achieved in 6 patients and partial in 4. There was no tumor relapse in child group during the follow-up period from 3 months to 5 years and 3 months. The patients in adult group were followed up from 3 years and 9 months to 5 years and 2 months and the mean survival time was 20 months. The patient who received conservative treatment was followed up for 7 months and the tumor remained stable. Conclusions The optic pathway glioma is a special type of glioma which is mainly low grade, and the prognosis of patient is significantly better in chidren than in adults.
