Abstract
A case of a cavernous angioma of the optic nerve is presented. The abrupt onset of monocular visual symptoms was accompanied by an intense bitemporal headache, indicating apoplexy of the optic nerve. The surgical and histological findings demonstrated a cystic cavernous angioma. The lesion was removed completely without any noticeable bleeding. The preoperative visual deficit persisted.
