Postoperative regression of opticochiasmatic astrocytoma: a case for expectant therapy
Neurosurgery.

Abstract
After incisional biopsy, an opticochiasmatic astrocytoma in a 2-year-old child with neurofibromatosis was seen to regress by computed tomographic scanning. This case illustrates the need for expectant therapy in this entity.
