Meningioma

A rare, mostly benign, primary tumor of the meninges (arachnoid cap cells), usually located in the supratentorial compartment, commonly appearing in the sixth and seventh decade of life, clinically silent in most cases or causing hyperostosis close to the tumor and resulting in focal bulging and localized pain in less than 10% of cases. Additional features may include headache, seizures, gradual personality changes (apathy and dementia), anosmia, impaired vision, exophthalmos, hearing loss, ataxia, dysmetria, hypotonia, nystagmus, and rarely spontaneous bleeding.

Papilledema

Papilledema refers to edema (swelling) of the optic disc secondary to any factor which increases cerebral spinal fluid pressure.

	Congenital optociliary shunt vessels.
	Anderson SF, Townsend JC, Selvin GJ, Jew RL. J Am Optom Assoc. 1991;62(2):109-15.
	Diagnostic implications of optociliary shunt vessels include 1) congenital variations, or 2) acquired secondary to a long-standing venous congestive event as occurs with optic nerve sheath meningioma, central retinal vein occlusion, papilledema, hyaloid bodies of the optic nervehead, dysthyroid optic neuropathy, and papillophlebitis.

	Anderson D, Khalil MK. Can J Ophthalmol. 1981;16(1):10-5.
