| Abstract: | PURPOSE: To describe the neuro-ophthalmic presentations of a rare intracranial tumor, hemangiopericytoma. METHODS: Retrospective multicenter case series. RESULTS: The neuro-ophthalmic and radiographic features of hemangiopericytoma are reviewed. The clinical presentation may mimic meningioma and the pre-operative distinction between meningioma and hemangiopericytoma is important because the evaluation, management, treatment, and prognosis differ significantly for the two lesions. CONCLUSION: We report five cases of intracranial hemangiopericytoma and review the neuro-ophthalmic findings of this uncommon entity. |
