Visual outcomes in patients with meningiomas compressing optic nerve by David Krahulik, Filip Blazek, Martin Hampl, Lumir Hrabalek, Jan Krahulik, Marta Karhanova

“…A longer duration of visual impairment correlated with more severe preoperative vision loss. Although postoperative visual function did not significantly correlate with tumor size, location, or duration of preoperative symptoms, patients with shorter impairment durations demonstrated better postoperative recovery.ConclusionThe duration of preoperative visual impairment is a critical predictor of visual outcomes, supporting early surgical intervention for optic nerve–compressing meningiomas. …”
