Patient No Visual acuity‡ Visual field loss Progression in imaging Visual acuity‡ ‡‡ Visual field loss‡‡ Follow up after treatment (months) Outcome
*l = left; r = right; b = bilateral.
†Location: 1 = orbital; 2 = orbital and optic nerve canal; 3 = orbit, optic nerve canal, and intracranial extension; 4 = canalicular.
‡NLP = no light perception; LP = light perception; FC = finger counting.
§Low visual acuity due to inadequate spectacle correction.
∥Patient No 2 is suffering from bilateral ONSM, therefore mentioned twice.
¶Additional systemic steroidtherapy.
**Biopsy.
