ABSTRACT
A 4-month-old infant came to the department of Ophthalmology, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital with right eye proptosis, strabismus, and no vision. She was diagnosed as optic nerve and chiasm glioma. The subtotal removal of the tumor was performed and followed by chemotherapy, with a satisfactory result. Because of the large size of the tumor and the presenting symptoms and signs since the patient was only 2 month old, we believe that this tumor originated in the intrauterine period. To our knowledge, this reported case is the youngest patient with optic nerve and chiasm astrocytoma in Thailand.
