MRI shows low intensity on T1-weighted images and high intensity on T2-weighted images, with strong high enhancement on contrast. Arrows indicate optic radiation.

T1- and T2-weighted images, respectively. The entire mass was strongly enhanced with Gd-DTPA (fig. 1).
Optic radiation tractography using MRI shows the visualized optic radiation that runs laterally to the tumor (arrows).

MR tractography could clearly localize the optic radiations around the tumor (fig. 2).

On the other hand, RBANS revealed that the patient had marked impairment of attention, language, visuospatial/constructional abilities, and delayed memory function (fig. 3). Results showed that all scores on RBANS significantly improved back to the normal range (fig. 3).
